    The limits of comedy talk shows tbh. It’s just one step removed from being Vaush; even with an entire team writing your jokes and scripts beforehand, you still end up having to put comedy first. He’s a good speaker, he has cadence, timing and inflexion. And good speakers often are able to create a following with that.

    He’s part of an older disappearing breed I think of the “overly snarky commentator”. People are moving away from that, it’s just not trendy anymore.

      He’s probably more mad that Jon Oliver’s style is now more popular. Not really funny (at least in my opinion), but at least well-researched.

      (Yes, I know that, at least how he presents, he has problems seeing the main problem as capitalism. But when it comes to domestic issues, he is definitely well-reseaeched.)
