' and a chipmunk was fatally squashed in Paramount’s 2006 Matthew McConaughey-Sarah Jessica Parker romantic comedy Failure To Launch.' Who cares? It's an accident (and a chipmunk)

What if it was trying to bite someone? I can't see any use in puching a husky repeatedly.

Thing is, he was a writer on The Daily Show not just a correspondent (writer/correspondents are a very rare breed in The Daily Show roster, Wyatt Cenac is the only other recent one) so he's at it full time on 4 shows a week. I think the overlap will not be an issue.

John Oliver does arrogant prick (of a different style to Colbert's arrogant prick) extremely well, which is why he's both the best in studio correspondent and the best interview one as well.

Wow, I thought he was older.

Sometimes in interviewing nut jobs she's brilliant. But in most things she grates.

Well you could as the correspondents mostly are not needed day in day out they are needed around and to film segments but not all the time.

This show needs semi regular segments on test cricket.

But he's a wonderful comic actor with amazing physicality so can still contribute.

Partridge never really went away they just use him infrequently and they certainly never retired him.

So genderqueer = indecisiveness?

but a broad umbrella term like trans should be fine for people with any gender issues of all kinds in the way it is for gay/bi/lesbian despite the innumerable number of hues of those 3.

It's odd that they use the 'I will Marshall all the forces of darkness to hound you into an assisted suicide' line in the trailer.

It's nice to see at least some AV Club writers are au fait with Father Ted which is genuinely one of the all time great sitcoms.

Spot on. High end enough that the actors look like it there was some choice and they went with the two most fitting and kept out the fat and grotesque but still decidedly normal.

Weaker yes  and the serial killer thing stood out as being too ficticious in nature and compared to the other strands of public life examined in the series the newspaper industry didn't click but the acting, overall writing, the drama and basically everything about that final season still stands head and shoulders…

I really hate candy corn. It takes all the awesomeness of gummi sweets and chews and makes it awful.

Good cinemas have bars selling pints for a reasonable price.

It is odd but impressive just how joyful they make Mr Burns' unabashed evil seem, less so in this episode but in almost all the classic period Simpsons he's done with such a sprightly touch you really can't do anything but love him for his evilness.

Yes.
