    Doubt this show is getting the viewers that it did with John Stewart.

    That's The Daily Show you're thinking of. A better comparison would be The Colbert Report, given how Wilmore's show took its time slot. And given how both this and Trevor Noah's Daily Show are still fairly new, just like when you get a new host for The Tonight Show, you need to give the show time to find their footing because the same people who watched the last hosts aren't all going to jump over to a new one.

    .

    They argue the other sides of the issues for fun and switch sides for fun, it really makes you understand different perspectives even when you don't want to sometimes. They talk about sides of issues that the MSM don't talk about because its not PC. They throw tea at you if they think you are telling bull$#@!. I wish Rand would do that on one of the debates.

    Tough Crowd probably got better ratings than Wilmore's show--and I'm not even trying to speak from an availability heuristic here.

    This interview probably won't go all that smoothly, maybe it'll be akin to Bill Maher and Ron Paul: "Yeah...but you're still not for the Civil War..."

    I've remained a fan since Wilmore started because of his more then fair coverage of Rand Paul. I think any negatives will be tongue in cheek. I'll try to be pessimistic with you though so I can be pleasantly surprised later

    Agreed. I hope I get to eat my words. It happens sometimes.

    I've seen fair coverage from Trevor Noah on Rand Paul, and they had a pretty good interview.

    I've not seen any fair coverage from Wilmore on Rand Paul.. I don't watch the show very often, so hopefully there have been some good things I've missed.

    Wilmore is funnier than Trevor Noah but I tend to disagree with Wilmore and his panels a lot more.

    Watch this, Wilmore likes Rand, calls him a nerditarian if you watch his show at all Nerd is a compliment to Larry. He called Bernie Sanders wrong about Rand in the polite way that Wilmore does.

    Correct. I used to watch both Stewart and Colbert fairly regularly, they almost went together as a single show.

    I was wondering what was missing with Colbert's new show. It's like having a peanut butter sandwich when you have been eating PB&J all your life.

    Jon Stewart is a Producer on Colbert's new show, so it's like one of those jars of PB & J together, but the jelly is in the middle of the jar and you can't see it.

    Yeah, something about it is not working as well as it did with the Colbert Report. I generally go with Kimmel, unless the other guys have a guest I want to see.

    Gotta be honest. That was bizarre. Most of it was a skit. You could see Rand reading from the teleprompter. I don't know if the Goebbel's line was his or if he read it off the screen.

    Weird...

    I thought most the interview was fun and entertaining, but yea, I think Rand was mostly reading off teleprompter. They must have wrote jokes for him. Really wasn't a substantive interview, but was entertaining for what it was I thought.

    I liked it. It's fun to see him loosening up a bit
    The ultimate minority is the individual. Protect the individual from Democracy and you will protect all groups of individuals
    Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas Jefferson
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Oh ya it was excellent, Larry Wilmore put some good words into his mouth as well - besides the policy stuff mid way through, you know he wanted to say Cruz at the end

    Try watching the extended one thats up online. He was trying to be goofy and look into the camera I think. The extended interview adds depth the conversation where it seemed shallow on the one that aired. At the end he answered the question and said Grover Cleveland, I thought it was funny. He then said his wife said he couldn't call anybody a dick before the show in so many words.

    That was my take too. Can't see that skit gaining any voters, or even getting much of a message out. Didn't find it particularly humorous either. Don't see the point of an "interview" like that.

    Talking Video: Sen. Rand Paul Having Fun on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore [1/25/2016]

    "Then David said to the Philistine, 'You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of Yahweh of hosts, the God of the battle lines of Israel, Whom you have reproached.'" - 1 Samuel 17:45

    "May future generations look back on our work and say that these were men and women who, in moment of great crisis, stood up to their politicians, the opinion-makers, and the Establishment, and saved their country." - Dr. Ron Paul

    Hahaha, I liked that! Funny and he got a few real points in, too!
    Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.



    H. L. Mencken said it best:


    “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”


    "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

    Great until he wussed out at the end. Could easily and safely have said Graham.
    The more prohibitions you have,
    the less virtuous people will be.
    The more weapons you have,
    the less secure people will be.
    The more subsidies you have,
    the less self-reliant people will be.

    Therefore the Master says:
    I let go of the law,
    and people become honest.
    I let go of economics,
    and people become prosperous.
    I let go of religion,
    and people become serene.
    I let go of all desire for the common good,
    and the good becomes common as grass.

    -Tao Te Ching, Section 57
