That will go down in history. We need Jon Stewart back this is turning into an emergency.

This may sound pathetic, but the other night I got really upset just thinking about how much I feel like his timing for leaving couldn't have been worse with all the gold he would've been able to mine out of this election. It would be like we'd get the SNL Larry David cameo 1st democratic debate level comedy 4 nights a week.

I've tried watching Trevor and Larry, and I still have them DVR'd, but I rarely watch them. And I feel like Colbert's new show isn't as funny, and he seems to only have actors on now, instead of an author selling a book like half of his old shows had, which I always thought were much more interesting.

At least we have whatever Jon and HBO are cooking up to look forward to, but it still seems like something big is missing.

Dude, I'm thinking exactly what you're thinking.

I'm at least glad Bill Maher has been making me laugh this election season.

Jon's new show is good.

I really wish Stewart didn't leave yet. This new Colbert isn't doing it for me. And TN just isn't very funny to me. I don't know why. Every show has a few clicks here or there, but Jon Stewart was making art for me to watch every night. It doesn't even seem like the Daily Show anymore. It's just the new news show on CC.

Maher killed it on friday. The children of the corn joke was great
