Comedy Central Realizes Even One Daily Show Might Be Too Many
"Last week Comedy Central cancelled The Opposition with Jordan Klepper after one season. It’s the third high-profile show to have come and gone in the post-Daily Show timeslot since The Colbert Report ended in December 2014, and the second to explicitly focus on politics, and so we’ll gladly use it as further proof of one of our regular theories here at Paste: people are overwhelmed by political comedy right now."
When they start locking up innocent children, its not funny anymore!
ReplyDeleteYeah, because of those kind of jokes.
DeletePersonally, I don't see this as an indication of a saturated market so much as an acknowledgement that the show really stunk. Some people have the right stuff - Stewart, Oliver, Colbert and Noah - and then there's Klepper.
