Nightly Show. What say thee? Yea or nay?

[KamaAina]

The last one I saw (Tuesday's) kind of dragged on, especially without an interview segment.

1. I like it

It's an interesting cross between a talk show format and the panel-discussion show...reminds me of Maher's show a bit in that it's treading the line between humor and serious discussion. I like Larry Wilmore and I'm happy to have a slightly different perspective on things (black).

2. I just watched the Wed SOTU episode. Funny!

I liked the former Obama speechwriter who said that many pols behind the scenes are "broken garbage people." He even called them worse, but I can't remember now.

The one thing I didn't like was that Larry had a goddam conservative on the panel. I'm so sick of those assholes on TV.

[HappyMe]

3. Yea!

I like it so far.

[oberliner]

4. He was better on The Office

Anyone remember that episode?

I think he was a staff writer as well.

5. 2nd one funnier than the first..

A good trajectory, but I'll withhold judgement for a week or two..

[KamaAina]

13. Third one funnier than the second.

[winter is coming]

6. Yea.

It's not a one-for-one replacement for Colbert, but then it's not meant to be, either. It's not your usual panel discussion show, either. I like it, so far.

7. He is one funny guy

I like his commentary and the show is ok, I don't find it must watch like I do the Daily Show and I did for Colbert.

I feel like if Stewart were leaving the Daily Show Wilmore would've been an excellent successor. He fits well into that style and would bring in own style and make it special.

I remember when I first heard Colbert was getting a show I didn't expect to watch it much thinking it would just be more of the same, as the Daily Show. Colbert did something exciting. The Nightly Show feels like an extension of the Daily Show.

[femmocrat]

8. Yea.

The opening monologue is the best part though. The game show bit at the end isn't worth staying up for, IMO.

9. I like Larry Wilmore and find him to be very funny.

Beyond that, I think we all need to give him and his show time to hone its strengths and weaknesses. I think it will only get better if we all give it a chance.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. i really enjoy it.

[lame54]

11. Yea - but...

the writing is very good and Larry Wilmore makes a great host - they just need more segments
they shouldn't do that same format every night

[mucifer]

12. I like it.

[bluedigger]

14. It has good potential.

It will take a while to find it's legs. I especially like the South Pole oriented global map backdrop. Tres subversive.

[rurallib]

15. Agree and Wilmore seems like the kind who can really develop it

[KamaAina]

16. At the close of Week One, I am definitely leaning toward Yea myself.

Keepin' It A Hundred, baby!

[DeSwiss]

17. Now this first joke was FUNNY!

[Rhiannon12866]

18. I've always liked Larry Wilmore, think he's funny and clever

But when I tuned in the other night to see he had Amy Holmes as a guest, I changed the channel.

[Fearless]

19. We'll see

I liken the experience so far to Jimmy Fallon. It takes a while to get a following and a few solid ideas behind your show. I'll check it out again in a month or two and see.

The opposite was of course Stephen Colbert, who was a cult classic nearly from day one. I remember watching the first episode and it quickly becoming a nightly thing.

[Laffy Kat]

20. Liked it. Hope it sticks. nt

[arcane1]

21. I've seen a few episodes now and I'm digging it!

I didn't like Colbert at first either. It took me a few episodes, but both shows grew on me
