I wonder if the showâs producers had to pay off the trademark holders for the Australian sketch comedy show for the name.
Canadian exceptionalism?
(I do like the show.)
I wanted to watch this yesterday, but no joy streaming it from the TBS website, you need a TV cable account. And they donât seem as keen as HBO to show you much of the programme on YT. Iâd have happily watched any adverts they put in the stream.
I will be resubscribing to HBOâs standalone streaming service for John Oliverâs new series (amongst other things), but this one just isnât accessible to me. Pity, I wanted to watch it.
(fair enough, I guess - it is a cable show, but disappointing)
Chimps huh? Sounds about right.
I have to agreeâI had the same feeling that I had watching the first episode of the Colbert Reportâthat this was the start of something great. I mean, I had expectations that this would be goodâsheâs smart, funny, and clearly learned a lot from her time on the Daily Show, but she hit it out of the park on her first go. (By comparison, Trevor Noah seems to still be struggling a bit to find his groove).
Sam Bee + John Oliver + Stephen Colbert - man, TDS is an incubator for greatness like old-school SNL wasâŚ
I want to see it too. It looks like the first episode is available for $1.99 through Amazon Prime.
Donât you mean watching chimps from behind a âblindâ?
I liked the first show, but⌠once a week? Oh boy another John Oliver in the making. Need more asap!
Starting out in a election year, especially this election year should make for some good nyuk nyuks.
The entire R field is comedy gold. Even Bernie is gold (recall the Bernie plays the bongos bit?). Clinton, well add in Billâs backstory and pass the popcorn.
It bummed me out and slightly pissed me off that Samantha Bee wasnât named the new Daily Show anchor. Iâm quite pleased that her solo show is hitting it out of the park.
I think she had already signed for her own show before that decision was made.
I havenât seen the show just yet, but since the early days of the Daily Show she was always incredibly funny, witty and wonderful (same can be said for her husband Jason Jones who was also in the Daily Show and was just as funny, and i loved the bits when they played off against each other).
So far iâve heard great things about her show and i wish her the best. Looking forward to enjoying it.
Donât be jealous, we share our poutine!
Cheese curd goes a long way. You folks built that spiffy robot arm that was on the space shuttles too, so thereâs that.
Well, for some reason Americans find Canadian comedians really funny. Itâs been going on for a long time.
Itâs good, as our oil exports have now become worthless. At least we have a nearly bottomless and rich vein of sarcasm and snarkiness to export for your suddenly expensive dollars.
Oh, yeah, we find the whole idea of Canada hilarious, really. Eh? Committing to the joke for so long is the sign of true professionalism!
My Latin is rusty, but isnât Bee an âalumnaâ and not an âalumnusâ? Sorry to be so nit-picky.
Donât forget Steve Carell.
Just watched the first episode on On Demand. Fabulous! Harkens back to early days of the Daily Show. Too bad its only on once per week. Maybe once everyone finds it, she can increase frequency.
Why would an anthropologist be watching chimps?
