    Great to see Al back. I don't often watch it but will this week.

    I caught a few clips. Dude's doing worse than I had hoped as I think age is affecting his wit. Some real banger guests tho... Not a superfan of Silverman but she killed it, Wanda Sykes, Kal Penn, Hasan all outperformed imo and would do as good or better than last host.

    LOL - I thought at first that there was a new Trump Derangement Syndrome network before I figured out TDS was The Daily Show.

    Silverman was great but I'm sure its first day issues. He is a little slow starting to read off prompt when the segments start etc. Droll is part of his style but hopefully he will pick it up a notch.

    The UK show Have I got News for You dumped it's presenter for guests maybe 20 years ago and was all the better for it.

    I have not got to Lindsay Graham's interview, I don't like him getting coverage as he is a vile creature but in sure other guests will be good.

    It was The Daily Show first and is again. I wrote TDS on purpose.

    OK.. The Graham interview is awkward but gets more fluid at the end. Graham seems to be trying to give a warning about Trump and also telegraphing that he will be a top supporter again as soon as the wind blows that way.

    I'm not sure the interview served any great purpose but OK, maybe for some kids.

    Watching Tuesday episode now. As expected he is more on point and made a gag out of him seeming a old and lost it.

    I will be disappointed if he and Desi Lydic don't do the boobies-honk-honk photo gag.
