So glad except for the fact that we only get Stephen Colbert here (im not including John Oliver) when will a network or Foxtel finally let us see the others especially Jimmy Kimmel who was always my favourite.
I’ve enjoyed their Strike Force Five podcast but definitely happy they are back!!
If only Drew had waited a few weeks, she would still be America’s sweetheart.
And they will still be without actors doing contracted plugs, which would be a plus.
Positive:
Back to resetting the DVD recorder for Stephen Colbert
Negative:
Visually fast forwarding the last part of The Project to locate the starting point.
Great news! I feel like I’ve been in a US news void for the last few months. Looking forward to everyone’s monologues for a good catch up of what nonsense has been going on.
