I thought ep 2 was a great improvement over ep 1. I'm really glad to have him back. And you really can't go wrong with Katie Porter, ever.

I really missed Larry Wilmore these past few years, I feel lucky to have him back, and still feel he should have gotten Trevor Noah’s job.

Thank you, Peacock.

I'm liking this. Glad he's back. Was surprised to see Deray instead of one of the female leaders of BLM. I hope he'll get one/or more of them on soon.

I hope they extend this past the election. I have trouble remembering to go watch things that don't magically show up on my DVR, so I also hope at some point they put him on broadcast TV, so I don't have to manage so many different sources.

Episode 6: Vote is available on October 30. Guests include: Senate candidate Jaime Harrison; actress and producer Yara Shahidi; stand-up comedian Mike Yard.

My episode cut off right in the middle of a Mike Yard sentence.

What time does the show get posted? I checked for it earlier today and it wasn't there. It's annoying to me. usually when a show is "new on Fridays" that means all day, as soon as you go looking for it. I'm just going to stop looking until Saturday, but Peacock needs to get its act together and make things clearer.
