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.

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?)

Google undersizes Stephen by one inch? BASTARDS!!!

 

Pope Frankie would make wearing adamantium claws look cook, I betcha.

 

The only personal question Sean Hannity needs to answer is: "Why are you such a lying, treasonous turd?" I love how Stephen just verbally pants Hannity every chance he gets.

 

Stephen should have, at least, had PK Winsome in his collage of him with African Americans.

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. He wanted to get his point out, and I for one wanted to hear him.

Damn, has another week already gone by? This year is winding down way too quickly on this show. I feel a little like Sam watching Frodo's ship sail away.

Same here. It was just the right amount of the absurd without belaboring the joke.

I had a different impression. I thought Stephen made him look foolish without necessarily setting out to do that. In any case, I'm a little skeptical that the problems with the selfishness of the leadership class are because those folks weren't allowed to "find themselves" as undergrads.

I thought I was the only one who remembers Ann Richards!

 

Loved Al Madrigal's work the most.

 

Not all states allow mailed in votes. Here in MA, I have never had to show ID, but you can only vote absentee (mailed in) if you are going to be out of state on Election Day, or have a disability that prevents you from going to the polls, or a religious reason you are prohibited from being there.
