Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
SnoopyStyle Larry Wilmore takes over the spot behind The Daily Show after Stephen Colbert leaves for his CBS late night talk show. Eight months after the debut, Jon Stewart leaves The Daily Show and replaced by Trevor Noah. The show is canceled before two complete seasons.It's surprising that his show got Unblackening before the White House. It's not surprising that the show got canceled eventually. It started off badly. Honestly, I stopped watching after two episodes. I reconnected later on and appreciated its point of view. The Colbert Report is a tough show to replace. The Nightly Show is never going to measure up. I do like this more than Trevor Noah. Wilmore is not a natural performer and his monologue is not the best. His most notable performance may be calling the President n-word. It's the show's black-centric take that gives it its unique flavor.
jluciano1337 Colbert was so good at making rather depressing true topics, more light and interesting. My problem with Larry's show is it is not diverse topically at all! to the point that I stopped watching a show I had watched nightly for over 5 years. basically every episode goes this way A. Injustices towards African Americans today, and B. annoyingly pro democrat political banter. They really manage to make me feel alienated for being a white person. I mean I agree we have issues in society to address, Larry however seems to ONLY talk about that. He's just incredibly boring, and I would REALLY love to know when they will make an episode and not dedicate 90% of it to racism. I do not want to go to bed thinking about such negative stuff. Fire larry, i know its a late time slot but I shouldn't be bored to sleep!
pipmcskippy Their lead writers hang to the far left, and don't shy away from writing like it. They try to appeal to an American audience that really doesn't understand half of the jokes their are trying to make, and feel angry about being represented poorly. The show constantly lambastes and blames white people for racially charged issues. Their lead writers are from the MTV show decoded, which is no surprise. Though they clearly neglected their own ratings, as their ratings and viewer-ship has been in a free fall since opening up, such to the point that they've tried to insulate the show's failure by filling the opposite sides of the time slot with hit show hosts like Trevor Noah and Chris Hardwick. Which honestly has insulated the show against failure by most people not bothering to switch away to avoid watching the show. The show's humor is a mixture of Larry reacting in outrage to something that he frankly then paints entirely as something else. Such as several incidents he's only given one side of the story, with out looking at the full story. And the second the full story comes to light, drops what ever the subject they had been going on for about weeks and proceeds to move onto the next racially charged issue as quickly as possible. The show is garbage, and is simply seeking to push a very liberal mind-set upon it's viewers that honestly Colbert did better by portraying republicans in a comical fashion, as opposed to... how the nightly show attempts to constantly portray white people. Even going as far to mock bill Nye when he came on. He's running out of guests, because he mocks his guests to their face, and doesn't even listen to what they have to say when they come on. He's losing his own potential fan-bases based on how he treats guests that come on his show. The sheer number of viewers dropped between Trevor Noah's show and the @midnight show clearly display the real ratings of the show, and yet somehow, the first season got all positive reviews on rotten tomatoes? yet while under 30 percent of viewers liked the show? even less in the first season. It's a failed, unlikable show that needs to be canceled.
afmajrrckstar After reading all of these close- minded reviews I felt the need to stick up for Larry. This is not a "blacks only" show. The Nightly Show sheds extra light on issues that are normally swept under the rug or portrayed in the way that victimize the the actual monster in the story. So what if his stories are usually featuring minorities? And yes minorities not ONLY black people. To those who say "Larry said he voted for Obama because he's black." Yes he said that, are you suddenly unaware of sarcasm? Many people of any minority and white people voted for Obama partially for that reason. Do you actually believe a man in the spotlight like Larry Wilmore would seriously make that statement? I truly wish people would open up and think outside the box of an almost "white only can do this" mentality. Look to see what they're trying to inspire on the show. As an African- American or Black person ( whatever is comfortable for you) we weren't raised to see this show as ever being possible. This is a huge accomplishment for us to see this happening. A black man coming in after a well loved and admired white man has and never will be easy. Take any of those comments into perspective before disregarding this show.
