He's so good at this. And now that Jon is leaving, who else have we got?

I wish Jon would have replaced himself with Fugelsang, but maybe Trevor Noah will be good too. I just haven't seen enough of him yet.

And Jessica Williams is so cool, I hope she ends up with her own show. She might just be the woman talk show host/comedian who changes the rules (aside from Ellen, that is...Ellen is great).

The movie was pretty damn funny but there's a gag where the guys arrive in the future and Rob Corddry turns on the TV and it's showing "The Daily Show With Jessica Williams". A hint at the real future?

Who needs CNN and MSNBC when HBO and Comedy Central gives us REAL news? You know, the useful stuff, not the horse race bullshit.
