Greetings, my girlfriend and I are visiting new york for the first time. We did not manage to receive the tickets after registering on the website.

Is there any other means to get tickets?

Hey team! Looking for a specific clip from forever ago in honor of Hanukkah. John Oliver is a correspondent and is dressed as Santa, learning about Hanukkah. The tag line was “Eight is Enough”. Linked an article below about it with a dead link. My family loves to watch this every year, so any help would be greatly appreciated! This aired 12/2010.

He's not funny. He gives seriously bad vibes.

Nobody tunes into the daily show to hear conservative talking points disguised as comedy.

This is the funniest interview I’ve ever seen and it seems to be nowhere on the internet. Anyone have this??

Hi, I remember some clips of the e early Trump days 2015/2016 where they were interviewing people and one common phrase I heard what’s “Trump calls it like it is” and things along those lines. I’ve been looking over again and I can’t seem to find them I’ve seen various of the Kepler interviews and the Trevor pieces but I can’t find those. Idk if maybe someone remembers better when this was the trending words to describe Trump.

(Context: im trying to show how Elons charade is the exact same charade that Trump pulled that made him victorious, the whole drain the swamp stuff.)

I requested tickets for the show on the 20th of January, and I know Jon usually hosts on Mondays, barring any big events; considering the 20th is the inauguration, I wasn’t sure whether Jon would be hosting that day, or possibly the Tuesday after? Or, maybe hosting in DC? I’m a long time fan who used to watch TDS religiously during Jon’s first run, but I’ve read that the way the show is run has changed greatly since then, and I can’t remember for the life of me if they ever hosted on location during past inaugurations. If I lived closer I truly wouldn’t care who the host is, but I would be making this trip (and camping out in the cold for a few hours), just for Jon, so if he probably won’t be there, I’ll try for tickets for another Monday some time in the future. I know this is a long shot, and that it’s likely no one here knows anything more than I do, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask.

Before continuing, just want to say I really enjoy the entire cast, and TBH the rotating host thing makes TDS a richer experience.

That said, it’s clear they’re auditioning for a permanent replacement for Jon, at least eventually.

The problem I see with the hosts is that they all play their characters, while Jon feels like he’s just playing Jon. I fully understand how media personality is crafted, but it feels so congruous with how he is in his podcast or interviews or even movie roles, it just comes across as Jon who is an inherently funny, politically brilliant guy.

With the rest, there’s an uncanny feeling, closer to Colbert but without the full commitment to the bit.

For example, Klepper is really a Colbert light in his intonation. He’s excellent when fingering the pulse, but I never feel like he really drops the act to see the real Klepper. It’s kind of like the Oracle telling Neo he isn’t quite ready to be the one; maybe in another lifetime, who knows. All the parts are there but something is missing, maybe it’s age.

Desi is a little more dynamic between anchor and interview segments, but I still feel the interviews don’t hit hard because she goes from one role (the sardonic eye rolling slightly judgy liberal wine drinker) to an excited girlish supplicant to the interviewee. If she would show some teeth during interviews, she’d be my favorite host by a mile; she might still be.

Kosta goes waaaaay too hard on the self-discrediting frat boy persona. It’s funny in doses, but he can’t even really drop it during interviews in a natural way; it still seems through and it comes across like he’s not listening as intelligently as he is looking for an opening to be funny, rather than just being engaging and funny naturally. Ironically I think he is probably a funny guy, but he pigeonholes himself.

Ronnie is the hardest to place. He is naturally pretty awkward in interviews, but god sometimes it is absolutely perfect. His interview with Connie Chung was absolute gold. But I really didn’t like his interview with John Oliver; once again he couldn’t get away from the abrasive, foul mouthed East Asian immigrant. It’s weird, I almost feel like he’s better than the sun of his parts.

I've been very, very critical of Jon over the past few months, but last night's Daily Show monologue was, simply put, bullshit. Not only is Luigi Mangione referred to as just the CEO killer, but in Kosta's final joke about getting the attention of women, he neuters the act even more by jokingly saying now women want men to "murder the leader of a Fortune 500 company," which completely muddles what Mangione actually did.

Jon needs to speak up about this on Monday, if they have a new episode of the show. If not, then he needs to discuss it on his next podcast episode.
