'The Nightly Show': Sexual Assault Isn't Satire

I’ve had a hard time with The Nightly Show. I really want to like it. I loved Larry Wilmore on The Daily Show, I’ve become accustomed a full hour of comedy on weeknights, and I genuinely believe TDS/ Colbert Report line up gave us some of the best investigative reporting we’ve seen in the past ten years.

But I haven’t been able to get into the discussion format on The Nightly Show. Occasionally the roundtable produces something smart or funny enough to justify the conversation, but more often than not, I’d prefer to hear Wilmore himself on the issue. Like this.

Like a lot more of this.
