Josh Gad on the Daily Show

[tomtheflash]

The Daily Show, like a lot of TV comedy (sit-coms and talk shows alike), has found it's tone or flavour or whatever you want to call it.

For years it experimented and changed, it seems in the last year and a bit that it's found what it wants to be. As a result, the tone of the show is usually very similar, the content is often similar and at times it can feel like the show is pandering to its established fan base.

I think this polarizes people, and I can understand if it frustrates some. I, on the other hand, love it (despite the occasional cringe at the pandering).

I predict Jon Oliver is the next major breakout star of the show, similar to Corrdry. You can tell Stewart loves to have him on because they're comfortable improvizing with eachother.

The previews for the new NBC comedy "Community" (the one with Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, and Donald Glover) feature John Oliver quite a bit in them. I have no idea if his character serves more as a one-time/part-time player, or an integral part to the plot. If he's in it significantly, I have a feeling he's done with TDS.

Also, I didn't much enjoy Gad's first segment, but really liked his second one.

He already had his own one hour stand-up special, what other correspondent has had that? None that I can think of.

Demetri Martin, but I'm not sure if he counts as a correspondent or not.

[scamboogah]

Didn't John Oliver just have one recently?

[tomtheflash]

Yeah... That's the point

[darrylduffy]

[andrearunge]

Gad is bad. And awful.

[scamboogah]

Not a fan.
