there seems to be a massive writer problem in entertainment right now.

SNL
Daily Show
Colbert
Wilmore
Smantha B
etc...

There is no clever humor or thought out discussion. I can't find it but someone posted an article the other day that was discussing the difference between the daily show with and without Stewart.

With Stuart, it was clever. Sure, he was left leaning, but he had some unbiased pieces and he was great at debate. Remember when he tore Fox News apart on their own show? He had some very liberal moments, but his pieces were done extremely well. They were researched and fleshed out and usually he explained both sides even if he didnt agree with one. It was a mix of political satire and humor and honest debate.

With Noah, and further expanded to current comedy writers, there is no subtlety or clever edge. It's all just biased liberalism jammed into your throat delivered with an attitude that tells you you are a stupid lesser human if you disagree with the joke teller. Colin Jost's smug arrogance on Weekend Update embodies this.

I always point to that panel on Noah's show that had some dumb frick comedian on and Bill Nye. Bill Nye kept trying to discuss the importance of NASA and the Mars missions and what they could mean to our future, and the fat retard who i think was a writer on Noah's show kept saying "Whats on Mars? Alien porn? You tryna watch Aliens bang?" "What about educatin our chillen? Mars gonna do dat?!"

That's not clever. It isnt funny. It has no merit.

I was blown away by the sheer stupidity and the absolute disrespect and ignorance shown to Bill Nye, the audience and Trevor Noah himself however ate it up and couldnt stop laughing.
