colbert is pretty overrated imo

i think stewart is the only one of the three that is actually funny... though like you said he also gets preachy and then when people argue back or call him out on his preachy-ness he falls back on "hey dude i'm just a comedian"

agreed on Stewart.

Whether over-rated or not, his previous show was funny, but also very relevant. He was very informative, not the most funny, but his schtick works. His new solo stuff is kind of awkward and boring.

John Oliver is probably my favorite current liberal political pundit disguised as a comedian. And he does get snipey sometimes, with ad hominem, like Stewart... but he has a British accent so it's charming.

honestly i see colbert as a one trick pony... i thought he was funny when he first started. at this point his shtick has gotten pretty stale imo. of course coulter is mostly a one trick pony as well... but she's just a lot better at that one trick than colbert is.

i would actually rate colbert as the least interesting to watch out of the 3 names i listed. bill mahr isn't very funny at all to me, but he's not a terrible commentator and his shows usually have some decent guests and conversations on them. though i probably prefer politically incorrect to his hbo show.

as for stewart, i think a lot of his daily show monologues are pretty good... albeit sometimes to be taken with a grain of salt. the rest of his show is usually pretty ****, though. especially his fake reporters and their over the top news parodies... it's like a less funny, more dumbed down version of the onion. some of his interviews aren't bad... especially with people he disagrees with like oreilly. but whenever he gets someone on there who shares his politics he usually just licks their ass.

More of a Stewart man myself but Colbert will always have my respect for this

Allright I'm officially pulling any online support I had for Trump now, the guys an egomaniac train wreck.

Donald Trump late-night angry-tweets Megyn Kelly, and it is epic - The Washington Post

I am going back to supporting Hillary...I wish my economy wasn't so intertwined with yours.
