2023 Wasn't All Bad, Just Ask Lewis Black | The Daily Show

[@smugandsmarmy]

I got a chance to interview and meet Lewis Black about ten years ago and I can say that he’s as funny in person as he is on film. He’s also warm, generous and kind. He signed every single autograph and met every single fan who stuck around. He’s a national treasure.

[@lorensims4846]

I first heard about The Marvels from a big stand-up display in the lobby when my sister took me to see Barbie. I've been looking forward to the movie ever since because I'm a big fan of Captain Marvel and I think the new Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau are terrific. I just almost never actually go to movies anymore. It's been a great year. It was the first in a long time that almost felt normal.

[@doylestadt9135]

But did you like it? Was it at least a decent movie?

[@Spiritof_76]

I watched it on discount day and got my $6 worth for sure. It seems that Disney just tries too hard. The premise of a movie should work on a comic book level before being made into a movie. I'm perturbed that the 1970s Captain (Mar-vell) when he co-existed with Rick Jones has been ignored.

I don’t watch this show anymore for many reasons. One of them being Comedy Central ‘isn’t a thing’ in my world anymore. Like many things it just isn’t a part of my life like it was before the last 4+ yrs. So many things have changed. But I was fortunate enough to attend a live taping back in 2004 when I still lived in New York City. I got to see a piece by Rob Corddry, a Back in Black segment by Lewis Black and the great Steve Buscemi, interviewed by Jon Stewart. Seeing this was great, just to see Lewis still being Lewis. There are so many shows I used to watch that I haven’t seen in years now. The Daily Show is one of them. RIP - my pre 2019/20 viewership of so much.
