After a few weeks of Oliver, under our belts, what's everyone think of our substitute?

I think he's been doing a great job! :D

Me too!

He's doing awesome...I was worried it would super awkward to watch, but he's a natural.

I liked the way the first week all of the correspondents were hostile to him. And the Lewis Black thing was super funny.

I want him to have Andy on at some point, but I can't think of anything he could promote stateside.

Andy?

Andy Zaltzman. He and John do The Bugle together.

I think he's doing a good job. I particularly like how every day he offers a different excuse for why Jon Stewart isn't there.

I'm really hoping he gets a Brian Williams interview! :D

I hadn't even thought of Brian Williams! How cool would that be?

Overall I think he's handled the transition very smoothly. He's still a bit awkward in the guest interviews, IMHO, but he seems very comfortable with the news segments, and I love his chemistry with the other correspondents.

I kind of like the awkward in the interviews. The Maggie G interview was lovely and she was very patient.
