(2,200 posts)But that was the best cold open, best monologue, and best first skit Ive seen in decades. I laughed so hard at the crossing of the Delaware I was crying. My wife was concerned if I was okay.

Just goes to show how differently people perceive humor.
Tommy Carcetti
(43,606 posts)I discovered him just before he hosted the first time.
He just has a low-key observational style of humor and deadpan delivery that I like.
Some people like edgy and topical in their standup, a la George Carlin.
I dontI like stand up comedy as an escape from the hassles of the outside world, so guys like Nate hit the right note.
If I want topical in my comedy, I want it in a specific form where I know what Im getting, like John Olivers Last Week Tonight.
Pure standup, however, I just like to be down to earth and ordinary.

(5,165 posts)Thought that they did a good job. The VP debate cd open was hysterical. Dana Carvey was good, and I knew he was going to nail her with the ice cream at some point. Even the more random things, like the golf tournament had a few chuckles.

(13,277 posts)Ive watched his comedy specials over and over and he always make me cry with laughter. I thought he was hysterical last night, both hosting and in the George Washington skit.

Indeed the person who plays the Slobfather weighs at least 100lbs less than the rapist.
Eff that
