When I first started watching the show, I had a terrible feeling about it. To this day, my opinion hasn't changed. Now, don't get me wrong, Larry Wilmore is not not funny (if that makes sense). There are moments during the show that make me step back and say, "wow that was pretty funny!" HOWEVER, for a talk show that is supposed to take the place of the Colbert Report, it fails utterly. The Nightly Show is a disgrace to satirical comedy. The host has the tendency to give the people what we want, instead of what we need to hear. "I voted for Obama because he's black" is definitely one of the most cringeworthy statements I have heard so far on the show. Wilmore also labeled Bill Cosby as a serial rapist (which he most likely is) without truly analyzing the facts of the case. How can anyone say with 100% certainty that ALL the women accusing Cosby of rape are telling the truth without analyzing the facts of the case? The Nightly Show seems to beg for views by appealing to the general public, rather than educating the general public like a true satirical comedy show would (aka Daily Show and Colbert Report). With that being said, no one can deny the production value of show; it's only a matter of time before the producers realize their time and money is going down the drain.
