    I agree his show has a much higher quality quotient than the daily show, but again, 1 show vs 5 shows of unique content a week is a massively different undertaking.

      lol, right, obviously. i guess i got hung up differentiating between “works as hard” and “works as much”, as I imagine a weekly show affords more time off, but i’m certain they still work just as hard when they do work.

        Oh its clear the effort put into his single episode is probably worth at least the writing, research, and hosting effort of at least 2 daily shows.

        It’s always polished.

          i think the real effort in his show’s writing is riding that razor’s edge between the show’s often incredibly-depressing social commentary and the humor they try to imbue it with. They cover some really horrible subjects that are, for the most part lately, just a massive dump of bad news, yet try to do so satirically. That must be so much harder than just making jokes about the crazy shit going on.
