I Love Larry Wilmore and I miss him.

[Laffy Kat]

I was unable to watch "Real Time" last night because I knew I couldn't stomach Yannopoulos, so I just watched a couple of out takes instead. Watching Wilmore telling Yannopoulos to "go fuck yourself" and then say "your bitchy little ass" made my night. We need more of Wilmore, IMO, and less of Maher--who was worthless against Yannopoulos. My two cents.

1. Show runner/ EP of Blackish.

2. ?

14. Oh, Executive Producer! Finally got it. Thanks.

(I'm a little dense.)

[Iggo]

15. Took me a second, too.

3. HBO or TBS should pick him up

and turn him loose

[PoliticAverse]

5. His Comedy Central show got cancelled due to low ratings. n/t

[marlakay]

12. He was my favorite on daily show

I think he just wasn't ready for his own show. The day after Obama won and he took over for Jon was my fav daily show of all time.

[HAB911]

16. I watched his show

'religiously'. there were things I would have changed but CC is more restrained than HBO or TBS

I think he needs to be cut loose as he was on this panel

4. Maher actually said Milo's transgender bathroom exclusion demands were "not unreasonable."

And let him get away with the false claim that transgender people commit higher rates of sex crimes than the general population. Thank goodness Larry Wilmore and Malcolm Nance were there to call Milo on his shit.

Then Maher blathered on about how Milo was "just at the beginning" of his career, suggesting Milo was going to be a big star. Maher really did everything he could to legitimize that fuckwit Nazi. I was so disgusted.


Here's a good refutation of Milo and Maher's bullshit from last night: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58a84dcae4b07602ad551487?

6. Maybe Maher will go Eddie Murphy

and come out eventually. This sounds like flirtation to me. While I agree with Maher on many issues, in particular calling extremist islam what it is, his misogyny has always irritated the bejesus out of me and maybe this is the root of it.

7. You may, indeed, be on to something. nt

8. I LOVE Larry, but didn't like the format of his show.

I wanted more Larry and less from the discussion table. I really miss him too.

[Laffy Kat]

9. You know, I sort of agree with you.

I didn't much care for the format either. Maybe a talk show with one or two guests per episode? But you're right, more Larry.

[Coventina]

10. I'm very bitter toward Comedy Central for canceling his show.

I agree that the format needed work, but it was potentially a great show and they didn't give it enough of a chance.

18. The cast was excellent...

I keep waiting to see Holly Walker show up in something

[Coventina]

19. I agree. I especially loved Holly Walker, but I loved them all.

The stoner kid was my least favorite, he was really "out to get" Hillary, but the rest of them I'd love to see in ANYTHING!

I really loved Mike Yard as well. Why isn't he all over the place?

[demmiblue]

11. I always wondered what would have happened if Larry got the Daily Show, and

Trevor got the Nightly Show.

To me, it seems as if that would have been a better fit for both.

[Laffy Kat]

13. All I know is, we need Larry's voice, plus he's funny as hell. nt

[lame54]

17. Trevor is perfect for TDS...

And Larry and his excellent cast were killing it on TNS

A great hour each night

Ratings are not an indication of quality

2 broke girls is still going strong

[Coventina]

20. You can say that again! I will never forgive CBS for canceling Person of Interest

And, like you say, 2 Broke Girls continues forever....

[Orsino]

21. Nightly was the best political satire on TV.

The whole cast and writers were brilliant. We lost them, but we (re)gained Sam Bee and John Oliver.

I only recently found the courage, finally, to watch the final episode of Nightly. Still miss 'em.
