It's really interesting to see comedians do these performances without an audience. John Oliver and Steven Colbert's first attempts at this from home were a little cringy because they were still pausing for applause. Bill probably watched his and decided he needed to add in the audience afterward because without it, the practiced pauses from comedians are hard to watch. John and Steven stopped the pauses after a little practice.

I also noticed Bill looking around while talking. During a real performance you expect they are reading the faces of their audience, but in this case he was just looking at the back of his house. It shows you how much of this type of performance is automatic for these guys.

These events are also why Steven Colbert now has the shield.

Meh, Cem has become too much of a screamer for me. I like Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert's approach much better.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Steven Colbert: Constitution Not Relevant to Iranian Threat. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

a video has to be declared dead twice before sifty kills it. it's a safety net, protecting those precious family guy videos from degenerate assholes like qualm. noone wants to see peter griffin buried alive more than i do. but qualms actions are violent and spiteful. they should be considered attempted murder and he should be punished to the full extent of siftbot's authority.

Personally, I think Conan's too good for compromised comedy. I hope he moves to Fox and we get a John Stewart/Steven Colbert/Conan O'Brien trifecta. What could be better than that?

Steven Colbert will have a heart attack watching this clip

I can't stand Bill Maher. His jokes are dumb and his reasoning has one false analogy after another.

With comedians such as Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, I don't understand how this guy gets any attention.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

So where are Steven Colbert, Bill Maher and John Stewart going to get all of their material from now?


There will be plenty of drama and comedy, just won't have a singular headpiece buffoon as a target. There will be plenty of smaller targets though.
