John Oliver Stepping to Disney Won Late Night This Week


Plus Jon Stewart’s Daily Show homecoming and After Midnight going full Whose Line.

Let’s first address the wackness in the room: It’s so weird that The Daily Show did months of stunt casting the desk (if you told me Ariana Madix was gonna do a week once she’s done with Chicago, I’d believe you), for what appears to be … nothing. The boys of The Tonight Show(plus Keegan-Michael Key, J.B. Smoove, and former Late Night writers Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle) got some wigs on wholesale and created whole personae. Look, you can’t invite pan icon Wayne fucking Brady onto an improvised game show where the points don’t really matter and not make him sing.
