It's supposed to begin this fall while election season is going on.

And not a minute too soon IMHO.

1. I didn't realize how much I missed him until he popped up on Colbert's show.

Animated is cool....he can still build the sanctuary stuff, and not have the pressure of a daily broadcast.

7. I know!

And to think we used to get that four nights a week and took it for granted.

[Worried senior]

2. I love him

but unless Direct gives us a few days free we won't be watching.

HBO is too expensive for us.

3. Yeah, I'm still in my 90 days free period. But this fall

I'll have to rely on others to post clips online.

I'll miss the Bill Maher show too. He can be a jerk but most of the time is clever and insightful--and he seems to be evolving.

4. Thanks for posting ....

I have missed him ...... did not realize how much till he was on last week ......

5. Animated is great

But doesn't that take more production than him simply sitting in front of a camera? I'd be happy with that. Also the ability to be up to the minute on events would be hampered no?
Oh well I'll be stoked either way.

6. Animation is time consuming

At least good animation is. I'm sure the content will be good.

8. I see what you mean…

For satirical comedy to be truly effective, it has to be timely. Hopefully his team can turn things out quickly.

9. Cool!

I sure miss Jon.

Thanks for the heads up spooky~
