The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (2015)
Great host, panel section needs work.
It's amazing that, after 200 years of political, economic and social dominance, white people in America will take to the internet in droves to complain about feeling excluded by a TV show. I didn't know how Larry Wilmore would be as a host after watching him as a correspondent on the daily show. They're two very different tasks. His introductory monologues are great and delivery of the news is often funnier than Colbert, Oliver or Stewart. His panels don't work for me but... I often turn off shows when the interview/panel sections come on so I won't hold that against him. I sincerely hope that Comedy Central doesn't let the ignorant part of its audience take this show off the air. It seems like white people can only handle black hosts when black folks make fun of black folks (however smart the commentary is, IE Chappelle/Key & Peele), on a daytime talk show or on game shows past their prime. Real talk regarding real issues is hard, even when it's funny. We'll come around to things, it will just take brave networks doing the right thing for a while.
