He's far worse than the other four (I'm including Oliver as the fourth). Maher is probably my favourite when it comes to his opinions on stuff though.

Ska is pretty much Frownland lite. I liked him though. I used to have him on FB awhile back.

I agree with Oliver but I only found Stewart to just be okay. He was always outshined by his correspondents. Colbert was great in his character and it wad perfect for the time. I always enjoyed his show more than the Daily Show. As a late night host and not playing a character hr is pretty much reduced to Stewart level. Okay but could be better.

I still watch Maher but disagree with his position on Islam and one other subject. Can't think of it at the moment.

Maybe you disagree with how ****ty his arguments (which could have been very easy to make constructively) were in Religulous. I agree with the core of a lot of his views, but his reasoning is typically unnuanced and knee-jerk.

Plus he's soooo smug. There can only be one of us.

I don't watch any of them on a regular basis but I'd definitely say that Maher has come out with more things that I agree with, and is a lot more classically Liberal. Maybe I have missed examples of the other three proving me wrong but it's kinda splitting hairs. Don't particularly care what any of them have to say.

The best ? John Oliver.

It's been a while since I saw anything from Stewart, didn't he like grow a beard and retire ?
Colbert was better imo before he switched shows.
Maher often seems like he's trying too hard.
