His summer sitting in for Stewart proved that he would have been a great next step for the show, but that ship has sailed.

Yeah, John Oliver is doing a great job over there, but I wonder if he'd get paid more and get more viewers if he came back to Comedy Central. And if so, would that be enough to draw him in. I mean, Colbert left what he had for a late night show.
The Nightly Show is good. It doesn't seem like an event like The Colbert Report did, it's very relaxed, but I like the approach. They pick one topic and talk about it for most of the show with a panel of relevant people to the topic.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue  RE: Say it aint so Jon.

Not a fan of TNS. I've tried it multiple times, but I don't like the gimmicky "Keepin' it 100" thing, and the fact that he barely has anyone qualified to talk about the topics at hand. It just seems kitschy to me.
John Oliver could come back. The Daily Show is an institution, and to be the full time host is a big deal. HBO is pay service. He'll get WAY more viewers on basic cable. ETA: Other maybes: Sarah Silverman Olivia Munn Aasif Mandvi Joel McHale Ricky Gervais Amy Poehler Amy Schumer Chris Hardwick
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The only reason I have access it is is because my parents subscribe and the only reason they subscribe to it is because the package that gets my dad ESPN also gives them HBO.
