1. I'm watching!

I saw earlier today that he had a show. He's so funny.

[Aqaba]

2. I'm watching

I really like him, but so far its been kinda flat.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

3. It sucks. This isn't going to last two weeks.

[femmocrat]

4. Click.

I watched the first couple of minutes. Switched to the SNL rerun on NBC.

[AlCzervik]

5. love DL but this show kind a sucks.

[JI7]

9. i agree, the part where he went to the Palin Rally was ok though

[Billy Burnett]

6. He's got all the CNN shills on as "guests".

DL is good, but this is an embarrassment.

[EFerrari]

7. To Obama supporters at Palin rally: "You're a dangerous group!

A dangerous group with your reading and your educations and your equal rights and your hope!"

lol

12. LOL me too! n/t

[lonestarnot]

8. Outta there!

[protect our future]

10. I'm lovin' it. I hope it lasts.

I just phoned CNN and commented on how happy I was they're giving it a try.

Sorry to disagree with everyone else. I seem to be doing that a lot lately.

[EFerrari]

17. Once he settles down, this could be really good. I hope they give him

a chance. That would make 1 show I watch on CNN. :)

[Aqaba]

11. Colbert's first couple shows he was nervous as hell

I remember his opener and thought, "Oh hell, he better get smooth real fast." Not that DL looks nervous, quite the opposite.

13. "People have been imagining black presidents for decades

and usually that's done in movies ...."

James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman, a wrestler in the 23rd century ... "the moral is, you elect a black president and this happens" (clip of earth being destroyed by an asteroid).

14. Discussion about supernova and the ozone layer happening now. n/t

[CatWoman]

15. that skit/footage with Sammy Davis and the Pork Chop coalition

was funny as hell!! :rofl:

[snake in the grass]

22. Let's not forget...

...Dennis Haysbert in '24' and Tommy 'Tiny' Lister in 'The 5th Element'. I'm looking forward to fiction becoming fact.

Personal note: I really liked President Camacho in 'Idiocracy'.

[protect our future]

24. President Camacho, yes! n/t

[Lisa0825]

16. I like him!

I hope the show does well. It always takes a bit of time for a new show to hit its stride.

[EFerrari]

18. Scottie just came out for Obama. Now I've seen EVERYTHING.

LOL!

[LiberalFighter]

19. Comedy is not the place for a news station. At least not a comedy show.

[Santro]

23. i agree

get this of the air, it makes CNN look silly.

[babylonsister]

25. Beats the heck out of repeating their stuff ad nauseum on weekends.

At least it's something different.

[LiberalFighter]

26. I agree that CNN is boring when they repeat repeat repeat.

They could if they wanted have additional segments with useful info. But they are probably not intelligent enough.

The Hugley News or whatever it is called would be better on Comedy Central. It is no different than the Chocolate News it has.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

20. Second half sucks less than the first...Bloomberg line was pretty funny.

[Aqaba]

21. Agreed. Second half was much better.

However, this whole show is just damn weird being on CNN. Anyone else get that feeling?

I think the more guests he has on, diversified in their fields related to current topics, the better the show will do. I thought he did pretty well with the guests. The standup was pretty bad though.

[Postman]

27. Does it take a comedy show to give news you won't get on a "news" program?

So this is what it has come to.....taking news that Amy Goodman would report on Democracy Now and packaging it in a comedy skit in order for a so-called "news organization" to do its job.

PATHETIC.

28. Uneven at times

I watched and wasn't blown away by it. There were some funny parts but mostly things fell flat. I will reserve my final judgement until I watch at least 3 shows.
