Many police forces all over the country have been in hot water lately for certain high profile cases such as Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO and Eric Garner in NYC.
The Midnight Show tried to find out how those sort of cops would fare in a game show simply called “Don’t Shoot”. Watch how they fare here.
Jon Stewart makes fun of how the news is reported four nights a week on The Daily Show on Comedy Central. As The Daily Show does routinely grill various newscasters, pundits, etc. on a nightly basis, it would be natural for them to want to grill Stewart on anything that they can.
So, when a District Attorney from San Bernardino County pointed out one factual error by Stewart on a segment on Ferguson, Fox News and the like had a field day.
Last night, Stewart admitted, on air, that he was wrong, but also pointed out that the field day that pundits were having on Stewart steered the conversation away from questioning the methods of the police and the lack of oversight on that,
When reporting on the events in Ferguson, Missouri, Jon Stewart and The Daily Show looked to their Senior Black Correspondent, soon to be host of The Nightly Show, Larry Wilmore.
Here are his very poignant, well spoken thoughts on the issue, which, very easily, could be applied to the decision to not indict the NYPD officer who choked Eric Garner to death.
There are so many examples of inequality and oppression throughout the world today that it’s hard to not take notice whether you check your phone or even if you step outside your door.
Knowing that, Funny or Die has come up with a new game show that runs with that idea called “Here’s How You’re Getting F*cked”. The title pretty much explains the game and we’ll let host Bil Dwyer take it away from here.
Being gone for the entire saga of the death of Michael Brown and the subsequent ordeals that has followed in Ferguson, MO, The Daily Show pretty much did their entire episode last night when returning from vacation on that very topic.
However, being on the ground in Ferguson to see what it’s like right now is a story in of itself according to The Daily Show’s Michael Che. Watch it here.
As your various social media feeds have been most likely filled with some sort of pictures or articles about what looks like a war zone in Ferguson, MO over the killing of the unarmed Michael Brown, one would hope that such a biting, satirical comedy news program as Last Week with John Oliver would cover this story to hopefully ease some of the confusion and bring levity, of any degree, to the matter.
Well, last night, Oliver did just that in his main segment. Watch it here.
The very funny Joe Zimmerman had quite the stand up set last night on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferugson. Because of it, doctors may need to change nomenclature, the next presidential biopic may already be in the works, and some good news for someone with the last name Zimmerman has finally arrived.
The very funny Tone Bell and Shane Mauss both got to perform stand-up last night on late night talk shows. See their sets on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson where Bell got called over to the couch and Conan where Mauss got a nice amount of applause breaks.
