portnoyd: He will not be missed.

I'll miss him. He's grown on me. He's no Jon Stewart, but then he shouldn't've been. It took him a few years (as it did for Jon) but he made the show his own.

This wasn't as funny as the Jon Stewart or The Colbert Report farewells, but man, was it touching.

Never really minded him, thought he was always decent, but he really won me over during covid lockdown. Dont know if it was him being more laid back or what, but his home reports became a daily watch and I've loved the guy ever since.

He was one of the better late night hosts during the lockdown.

Going out with an audience still in masks,

Great guy, better than most Americans.

I just wish he'd apologized to the state and people of Louisiana while he had the chance. That bit he and Roy did about not passing the "anti-slavery" state constitutional amendment was funny and all, but it lacked context. And in his epilogue he went on and on about how his "Between the Scenes" videos were all about context and how important that is.

While some of the voters no doubt did vote against it for racist reasons, many voted against it because the bill's author, black State Representative Edmond Jordan (D), begged them to because racists in the legislature in the committee had altered it to do the opposite of what its title says and what its original intent was. It would've enshrined prison involuntary servitude aka the Prison-Industrial Complex aka the School-to-Prison Pipeline into the State Constitution. Jordan said to vote against it this time, and he intends to try again next year (when they do their state elections for Legislature and Governor) with a clean version.

He and Roy and The Daily Show writers and producers slandered a state unjustly. He should've apologized and corrected the record before leaving.

It was great to have all the correspondents doing their thing one last time, but they missed one: Lewis Black and his "Back in Black" segments.
