I’ve watched the British version for several years. Recently they started an Australian version as well. It’s an hour long format. Quite often, it feels too long. Would probably be better off doing it the British way, and spending an episode or two at the end of each season with a “Unseen Bits”

I've got to admit that I love 'Would I Lie to You.' Both it and Taskmaster are the only two comedy panel shows I watch religiously. The key is in the casting of the teams, and not being solely reliant on comedians. The UK version has actors, singers, presenters, newsreaders and so on. It's always

I can only guess as to why Batiste is not as active in a non-band sense on the show.  My sense is that Batiste's creative energies are mainly focused on non-Late Show projects, which is fine with me.  Whether that flexibility was a condition for accepting the gig, or it simply evolved that

"Taskmaster" was the British version--an American version had already failed on Comedy Central. The CW was looking for Covid programming but didn't have the patience here. I would think that with the Kings ("Good Wife/Fight," "Evil") on board as producers, this might have a chance. It's still

As I recall, Stewart said at the top of the segment that he could've booked an all-Black panel "and you white people wouldn't listen," so he booked an all-white panel. He probably should've booked someone other than Sullivan. Mark Jeffries spotligh...@gmail.com

Really nice piece. Wish them the best. I have been on the line (in our case losing) the fight with fucking leukemia with a close family member. Sucks. But then, we were not as relentlessly (sometimes obnoxiously?) positive as Batiste. I am really into his “We Are” album (I will be shocked if he

Mr. Batiste has 11 nominations at tonight's Grammys (he's also scheduled to perform), but based on today's CBS Sunday morning piece, it may not be what Stephen asks him about first on the next new Late Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS9TSxsA78c David -- You received this message

I just watched the episode, and although Stewart as host calling one of his guests a motherf*cker is not really proper hosting etiquette, the real infraction was allowing Sullivan’s deeply uninformed and racially charged opinions to share the stage with people who have studied this both scholarly

Estelle Harris, 93, with her distinct red hair, had been spottable in many a series and movie dating back to 1977 before the "Seinfeld" role, and also had a productive animation-voice career, e.g. as Mrs Potato Head (opposite Don Rickles!) in the *Toy Story* films... classic 'toob in this
