Wow no discussion about this weeks shows yet? The one thing I noticed is Stephen is having a hard time staying in character of late.

I mentioned over on TWoP that the number 97 appeared during the opening credits. If it says 96 tonight, we'll know he's counting down 'til his last show in December.

Trow, that was my first thought, too! Is that math right on this?

I think so. It said 96 last night, and the final show will air in mid-December. With four shows a week, plus vacation breaks, it seems like a reasonable number. Personally, I think the countdown is a horrible idea! Even though I'm looking forward to Larry Wilmore's show, I will miss TCR so much and would rather stay in denial a bit longer about the Nation's demise.
