This was pretty good.

I had no idea what it was going to be so when it came on and was another talk show I wasn't thrilled but it works and is funny.

Loved the weatherman segment too.

I enjoyed it, but I do worry with the political bent that we're getting to a saturation point for these types of shows. Even with the differences in approach between Colbert, Daily Show, Samantha Bee, John Oliver, and whatever else, there are only so many takes on the same topics. My favorite part was the Dutch piece as it felt the most fresh.

The Jim Jefferies Show

This has been on for a couple of seasons, but no one has started a thread about it. I find Jefferies lackadaisical, sometimes-dumbfounded style fairly funny, and his political commentary is quite astute.

Anyone else been watching?

The S2's opener was very good.
JJ's political incorrectness reminds me of Lewis Black.

Anyone know when this is coming back? I like the show a lot, but I find it far too intermittent. On the schedule for a couple of months, then gone for almost a year.

Smething doesn’t click for me.

When he stated that at the end of the show, I wondered if he meant for good or for the season.
Was it cancelled?
