Interesting - we had the exact opposite take on this. Re Oliver:I don’t think his Hill interview was really about the jokes, and that is why I liked it. Re Colbert: What bothers me about his take was that it struck me as fundamentally dishonest - something I do not associate with him. It seemed

I grew up watching Trebek do Jeopardy, even though my grandmother would always talk about the fact that she watched the show back when it was hosted by Art Fleming. But i was born in 85, when Trebek was doing the show. On Monday, July 30, 2018 at 5:09:10 PM UTC-4, Tom Wolper wrote: > > This is

I thought Oliver's interview with Anita Hill mostly fell flat because the jokes didn't work. Perhaps he should have done a shorter serious interview. Colbert's response of calling Moonves an important supporter but saying the guilty need to be held accountable was interesting. I was surprised

Somewhat related, AMC should do everything it can to continue "Unapologetic" with Aisha Tyler. What started out as an after-show (for "Dietland") morphed into a powerful alternative to (white/male) late-night fare, and it deserves to stick around. On Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 10:28 AM PGage wrote: >

I wanted to take note of what a great job John Oliver did Sunday Night on this topic. He told jokes but toned down the snark. Highlight for me was his closing interview, in which he kept in a few segments which made him look less than woke. Interesting contrast was Colbert’s take on Moonves last

When Alex took over Jeopardy, he was known as the "High Rollers" guy. I was in college and watched it almost every day the first year, and the guys in my dorm would derisively yell at the screen "Double! Roll a double!" On Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at 6:29:06 AM UTC-4, JW wrote: > > At 78, it's

At 78, it's hard to imagine that Trebek wouldn't seriously consider retiring pretty much every year. Although, like PGage, I'll always be an Art Fleming fan. Trebek was just another game show host when he took over Jeopardy!, so it's not hard to imagine someone else succeeding, as well. -- You

It would be hard for me to think of a show I more gleefully hate-watched (at least since "The Newsroom"). The plot was moronic and most of the acting (excepting Dakota Fanning, Q'orianka Kilcher, and Ted Levine -- who did an amazing job hiding behind an enormous mustache while seemingly never
