Wait, what? Say it ain't so…

No, no, you don't get it. He screams! At people! Ceaselessly! It's great!

Right, but that was half of Colbert's ratings, which were huge (for CC). They dropped precipitously after Stewart left, then started to climb as the show found its footing and it recieved a critical re-evaluation. But The Daily Show under Noah, its lead-in, sunk in the ratings, which cut into Wilmore's audience even…

I'd pay good money for a revival of Insomniac

I disagree. Noah's still drenched in flop sweat and under his presumed leadership in the writer's room, his political commentary has been toothless in the midst of what should be a layup election, comedy-wise. I suspect the ratings dipped because The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is a weak lead-in (Not that the Nightly…

After being largely indifferent to the first season (it seemed like, as Rob Cordry put it, Football-tourage) I'm actually really loving the second. Talking with a friend, I think I figured out why: The show actually has stakes now. In setting up Andy Garcia and pitting him against the Rock and Cordry, the show feels…

You mean Jewish Andy Garcia?

Barkhad Abdi IS Masai in The Warrior 2017

He's like if someone gene spliced Fred Stoller, Ray Romano and David Schwimmer and then left the results in the kiln too long, melting one half of his face

I was always partial to The Boppers and the High Hats. I loved that the game fleshed out the High Hats to be this bizarre group of sociopathic artists who hid out in a Soho loft. And the Boppers were just slick as hell. But I'd also have to give it up for the Grammercy Riffs, as they were entirely too badass.

This seems like as a good a place as any to point out how goddamn good Tidal was. Criminal, Shadowboxer, Sleep to Dream…I loved this album something fierce. Which, I learned quickly, was not a good look for a dude freshman in high school. Which, in turn, led to one of my more amusing memories from high school: My best…

Not filmed, so I know I'm cheating, but I got such a charge out of the opening of Mass Effect 2 because they used the silence of space so masterfully

Ha! I never thought of that. I was so used to the idea that Lucas was making a sci-fi WWII fighter picture that I never really thought about it. All those goddamn ships bank for no reason

Take *that*, Cher

That's easy! Fuck Empress Theodora, suicide Carrot Top, and my man Richard Thrillhouse Nixon? SQUAD like a motherfucker.

Grace Gummer answers the question, "What if Mamie Gummer were likable?"

Give me one of Kate Beaton's plush ponies or GIVE ME DEATH

For what it's worth, I never said a thing about his "relevancy." Relevance is a tough thing to parse, as you noted. My issue is that he's become waaaaaaay less assured as a performer. Character or no, his comedy has softened. His delivery has become stilted. In any given interview he looks terrified, bored or…
