trow125 October 11, 2014 Author Share October 11, 2014 It's 100% dudes on both TCR and TDS next week. It's interesting to me that "@Midnight," which is a panel show featuring comedians -- talk about a traditionally male world -- strives to feature at least one female on every panel, while TDS and TCR -- which can draw from the entire world of actors, newsmakers, authors, activists, etc. -- often go for several days with no women guests. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15999-the-colbert-report-week-of-101314/#findComment-457288
Fremde Frau October 11, 2014 Share October 11, 2014 I don't notice it as much on TDS because it seems like they balance it pretty well and will have weeks, even consecutive weeks, where women outnumber the men. They do a little better with guests of color, too, but I wish both shows would pick up on that. And guests from the LGBT community, especially transgender guests. Stephen had on Janet Mock, I know, but has TDS ever had a transgender guest? (I've only seen previews for @Midnight during TDS and TCR. Is it any good?)

peeayebee October 17, 2014 Share October 17, 2014 That was an interesting story from the NYT journalist. The most interesting part wasn't about the existence of the weapons, but of the experience and treatment of the soldiers. I much preferred Stephen's take on Fangate more than Jon's. I thought the author of Excellent Sheep had informative things to say, but there was too much talking over each other. Stephen interrupted a lot, and the author did not stop talking.

I thought Stephen made him look foolish without necessarily setting out to do that.
