  1. Go get’em. You are one of the bright spots in my day!!

  2. Lol. What’s he going to do?

    Narrate things sarcastically from the sidelines?

    Because that was working so well before.

  3. Cancelling him was the worst thing Trump could have done. Now the gloves are totally off.

  4. lol. Stop it. I’ll give it another week and he’ll disappear. Next news cycle. Another 15 minutes of fame, who’s next?

  7. Good. They gave him a longggg off-ramp, long enough to be brutal on screen for the next year and also plan what he’ll do next — podcast, a show on another network, etc.

  8. Well, it was just the setup for a joke about being able to say how he *really* feels about Trump (spoiler: He says he “doesn’t care for him”).

  9. I can’t imagine how he could possibly remove his gloves more than he already has… this should be interesting.

  10. In what way was he holding back?

    I mean what do you think can he do to hurt him more than he was already doing?

  13. I mean, I certainly don’t disagree, but .. the gloves weren’t off before? Gonna need some popcorn for this shit

  15. All these late night shows will die out soon with or without Trump.

  17. Who watches these shows anyway? Especially just to hear a rich guy whine about Trump. Don’t think I’ve ever met someone that says they do.

  18. Why doesn’t he just do what tucker carlson did and launch on the youtubes. He gets a global audience then.

  19. You Democrats are so focused on hating Republicans that you still haven’t given the 200 million people who didn’t vote a reason to change their mind.

  22. How is he getting away with saying this stuff on the network? It’s great but I’m surprised they haven’t tried to stop them. I guess it’s ratings either way ?
