Anybody else miss Letterman, Stewart, & Olbermann?

[Funtatlaguy]

They were all such great writers and had such quick wits and excellent timing.
Just imagine what they could be doing with Trump and his collection of “the best people” right now.
Wish they’d all come back for some kind of round table discussion. Even just one time.
I’d gladly pay to see it in person or on pay per view.

None of this is too say that I don’t really like Colbert, Noah, and Rachel that replaced their time slots. Love them too.
Just wish those three voices were still ALSO out there talking politics.

1. I really miss olbermann!

[Va Lefty]

2. Yes, yes and YES!

[mucifer]

3. I think Seth Meyers has an amazing writing staff. I think he is as good as Letterman

I like Rachel a lot more than Olbermann and Colbert and Stewart are similar.

So I don't really miss those three. I think we are ok. Plus, once in a while the old three pop up in places.

[VOX]

10. Good call, Seth Myers is terrific and still underrated.

Agree 100%, the writing is tops.

[dchill]

4. Exactly. Especially Keith!

[whathehell]

5. Yes, Stewart and Olbermann especially. n/t.

[leftynyc]

6. Definitely Stewart

Never watched Letterman but enjoy his online show now. Olbermann I never forgave for a special comment he did on Hillary that was nothing but bullshit.

23. MTE about Olberman

[leftynyc]

24. What's MTE?

[lunamagica]

25. My thoughts exactly

[leftynyc]

26. Ah

I'll carry that grudge to the grave.

[lunamagica]

27. So will I

[lapfog_1]

7. I miss them all...

but they have left us a legacy of great "replacements"

John Oliver, Stephen Cobert, Seth Meyers, Trevor Noah, and the great Samantha Bee.

on the news side, Lawrence O'Donnel, Racheal Maddow, Ali Velshi and Stephanie Rule, Joy Reid, and Chris Hayes are all very very good... although maybe not quite as good as Keith at skewering the GOP.

8. Stephen Colbert trashes Trump five nights a week.

He is way better than Letterman.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. I should have said in addition to what we have currently.

[Hoyt]

11. Olberman and Maddow helped get me through george warmonger bush, but

O’mann got old and too cocky. I think the late night show hosts do pretty well with today’s politics, but I did prefer Letterman.

[Tribalceltic]

12. Yes All of them

[world wide wally]

13. Letterman made me laugh out loud every night.

I loved them all

[Greybnk48]

14. I LOVED the format of Countdown!

And the sarcastic way Keith did the show. I don't think I ever missed more than 5? shows the entire time he was on. Loved it! I also was a member of the group that bought him a tie that he wore on the show! I think it was k.o.e.b., but not totally certain anymore.

I also REALLY, REALLY, REALLY miss Jon Stewart. Every night. And the Colbert Report.

[mucifer]

15. IMO the best thing Letterman ever did:

[Delmette2.0]

28. Wow! I love that!

I never could stay up late enought to watch Letterman, but i do appreciate him.

[Totally Tunsie]

16. They are the Trifecta - YES, I miss them all.

Letterman
Olbermann
Stewart

[scheming daemons]

17. Yes.. but right now I am relying on Colbert, Maher, Bee, Oliver, and Kimmel.

[Paladin]

18. God yes, I miss them. I miss Al Franken, as well. (nt)

[Polly Hennessey]

19. Every day.

But I love the ones we have now.

[dembotoz]

20. Yes but mostly ko

[shanny]

21. Stewart, certainly...also too: Comedy Central Colbert.

[lunamagica]

22. I really miss Dave...

[LyndaG]

29. Yes

I will always be grateful to them for making the Bush/Cheney years a little more bearable. So glad to have Colbert, Meyers, Kimmel, etc. Boy, are they ever needed these days !!!!!
