Broke is outstanding. A great look at how athletes handle their money and why so many end up in dire straits when their careers end.

Imagine that. Outright attacks on conservatives not as popular as making fun of their already over-the-top mouthpiece personas.

That was a good one. There are only a few I haven't seen, mostly the outlying sports like surfing/X-Game type stuff.

It didn't help Wilmore laughed at 90% of his own jokes. Or that the panel portion, which I thought showed the most promise of any segment on the show, usually was less discussion and more of spouting out jokes that don't always relate to the topic trying to one up the last person.

More to the point, it just wasn't all that funny. Just like his routine at the correspondents dinner, he went past the laugh point into uncomfortable and sometimes flat out mean with everything.
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
A lot of people wrote this show off as just generically bad, but I think they're under-selling it as maybe one of the worst shows in a very long time. It's just terrifically bad and makes for an amusing hate watch.

So I remember there being a discussion about how stupid conservatives were for not getting the joke of what Colbert Report was trying to do back in the day and I thought today's Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History talking about how difficult satire is to do because we each take from it what we want:

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!
The final show was quite moving. Wilmore was basically trying to get through it without tears.
He'll be back doing something. The dude is straight up talented and my god it's not as if the past few years have not demonstrated the desperate need for the kind of discussion that happened on his show.
Wilmore confronted his audience with the Fact of continuing racism, every night, and the hideous damage that does to real people every day. About thirty percent of the country would like to string up anybody with the temerity to point out the obvious, and another thirty percent have their heads buried deep in the sand saying now that the laws have changed everything's milk and honey, and so he didn't get wild reviews and huge ad contracts. Obvious media lesson is obvious but needs to be learned again every few decades.
But the other lesson is everybody who saw the show and got the message will grow tendrils and connect up and what Wilmore said that shocked people -- mostly white people -- in 2016 will be common knowledge by 2026. Hopefully, the common knowledge of an injustice will crop it and isolate it. That's what happened with the civil rights movement and Jim Crow #1, and we gotta fight the same old villains again in round 2.

Fox had a show of the same name coming out. It didn't last but there was no way they were going to keep that name.
I thought The Nightly Show was clever and I don't think it was pussying out myself. Especially given the circumstances.
