True story-I may have some facts wrong, but it can be googled.
The very openly gay Scott Thompson tried to check into a high end hotel here in Vegas.
He was told 'no ' a few times, then, after asking what the problem was, he was presented with a bill for a trashed room,
Escorts(female), etc.
it turns out the ACTUAL…

I feel like such a pig, because I'm a Lib, but would agree with anything just to get Coulter's dress off.
(Hangs head in shame)

Lol, I know, right? He seems more likable and normal away from Cheney and handlers. People who have met him since he has retired say he is actually really nice.
I think you nailed it as 'puppet'.
I don't think, and I'm not trying to be mean, that he is smart enough to really do a lot if the malicious stuff people…

I actually heard it was between Craig, Patton Oswalt(His schedule may be too prohibitive), and Marc Maron…who is due for an interview show eventually.
We'll see, I guess.

I love Wilmore, but 'Fuck You ' is not an acceptable answer to a real problem.

Oh, I know…and I have one big complaint….not enough of the show. I would be happier watching John every night. As a comedian, I am envious…he ALWAYS kills. He is brilliant.

I have worked with Mike. Great comedian, class act. I've heard good things about the other 2. Larry Wilmore was a main voice behind The Daily Show….a great guy, phenomenal writer.
This will be a winner.
However…
I have to admit to wishing John Oliver had gotten this gig.
My ideal line up:
The Daily Show
The Nightly Show…
