I don't have AppleTV, but i watched a few clips on YouTube. I hope those are throw away clips b/c if those are the best bits, this show is doomed.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I watched the first episode. it wasn't bad. seems to be The Daily Show with Jon Stewart sans suit and tie.

i didn't watch a whole lot of daily show when he hosted, but if the first episode of this new show is any indication of how things will go, it seems like he's using it as a platform to bring awareness to some orgs he's either helped start, or has worked with. in this episode's case...vets with respiratory illnesses from Iraq/Afghanistan.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
