Sorry if some folks find this offensive. It is not meant to be taken seriously. B-)

1. I dont think anybody would find it offensive at all

at least not here.

[Coexist]

2. "yes, but those wins were in February"

that was funny.

[Bicoastal]

3. Hooray! The Daily Show has WRITERS again!

:bounce:

[MadBadger]

4. Ironically, it wasnt as funny last night.

17. I told my wife the same thing

I didn't think Colbert was all that great last night either. They have definitely proven they can make it without writers. All John has to do is read a real new story and stare at you with a straight face and it's funnier than hell.

5. Black on black racism. I think it was offensive. Obama people should have this thread deleted.

[damntexdem]

14. Those who can't understand sarcasm ...

need to get a life.

[Bucky]

15. ...are condemned to repeat it?

over and over until someone says "Shut up and get a clue"

[FrenchieCat]

6. In November, they may think that voting for a 73 year old White Republican

is just the kind of change they were really looking for! :rofl:

[my2sense]

7. I saw it last night

Neither offensive OR funny just fell flat for me.

[knowledgeispwr]

8. I saw it: It wasn't offensive or funny.

It was just there, lol.

[Apollo11]

9. The part about Maine was kind of funny.

But the rest kind of fell flat.

Maybe because we are getting tired of race-based explanations of primary results.

[NOLALady]

10. I thought it was funny.

They will decide on the real "change" in November. :rofl:

[TheDonkey]

11. New Clinton Meme: "Obama's wins came in February." sounds legit

[jkshaw]

12. There were a couple of very subtle, really

hilarious lines in there. Like the Harriet Tubman stamp delivering the eviction notice and the upside down question mark. I really like Larry Wilmore. He's very good with the understated joke that hits a few beats after first hearing it.

[zonkers]

13. Even cooler, he is a surfer (Hawaii) and a black man, brah.

[tammywammy]

16. I thought that The Daily Show was very funny last night

Including this part. I don't usually watch it either. Very funny.

18. Larry Wilmore is hilarious and accomplished.

Larry Wilmore (b. 1962) is an American television producer, writer, comedian, and actor.

He has been working in television for nearly thirty years, primarily as a writer. He has written for Into the Night with Rick Dees, In Living Color, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The PJs (which he co-created), The Bernie Mac Show (which he created) and The Office, on which he appeared in two episodes, "Diversity Day" and "Gay Witch Hunt", as the character Mr. Brown. He also wrote the episode "Performance Review". He has also made appearances on such television series as The Facts of Life and Sister, Sister.

In March 2006, Hollywood Reporter reported Wilmore landed his first major on-camera role, co-starring in an untitled comedy pilot with Christine Baranski and Ed O'Neill.<1> The pilot was not picked up for series.

For the 2007/2008 season, ABC hired Wilmore to develop a half hour pilot for comedian Cedric The Entertainer but the script wasn't well received and the project was abandoned.

As of August 22, 2006, he is serving as the "Senior Black Correspondent" (briefly being the "Black Correspondent," and on one occasion the "Senior Mexican Correspondent") on The Daily Show.
