Hm, I must say I never checked out her show, because she was my least favourite thing about the Daily Show while she was on it (along with her husband). But I keep hearing nice things about her show. Is she playing a different persona than on the Daily Show? Is the humour different than what she did on there?

It's right now the weakest show I know off in that kind of segment (Fake News / Satire) bordering on Stand Up ( ... )

Thanks. I think I better give it a pass. doesn't sound like something I'd enjoy.

No problem, Weeping Don was the first really extraordinary bit in half a year and that only because of the use of Dr Who.

Actually Sam's Show has a bit of another Canadian Pick I've just made from current TV... "Private Eyes", a Toronto based crime procedural featuring Jason Priestley of Beverly Hills 90210 fame. I DO like the series for its atmosphere and cast, but it is pretty "90-ish" and tame when compared to current US made series and even features more "romance" sideplots than Rosewood that already got lots of flak for its "distractedness"... And it doesn't even manage to want me to see them "get together"... (But then I watch mindboggling numbers of british crime procedurals and 3/4 of those have a 60/70es feeling to them like old "Tatorts" if not even older "charm")

Full Frontal is similar... it compares favorably to US satire programming from 15 years ago but is not quite up par to 2016 style programming...
