Racism and relations with police; tough subject for first show....Yet, could be the start of something of substance. In place of the departed thing of substance.

the audience to clap if the guest is being 100% real. His opening monologue was great. All in all a worthy show. And a breath of fresh air. This is not the MSM take on the stories of the day.

His opening segment was great. I thought it kind of went downhill when the panel came on, but I still enjoyed it. The "game show" segment was very funny, though. I think he's off to a solid start.

But, I'm holding the entire show to the high standard Mr. Wilmore set as Senior Black Correspondent on the Daily Show.

The "keep it real" segment at the end put guests on the spot and I liked that. I'll watch again.
