Daily Show / Colbert Report / Nightly Show / The Opposition discussion

Wow... with it being a shortened month due to summer vacations and the upcoming Labor Day holiday in the U.S., and with it being a shortened month on The Daily Show, we have no featured books -- books that guests were there specifically to promote and discuss -- this month.

Let's hope Trevor Noah keeps the same model as Jon Stewart and has guests on to talk about books!

There's also the hope that Stephen Colbert will continue to have authors on his late night CBS show. (fingers crossed)

That too. Then we have to discuss whether we want to branch away from just Comedy Central shows for our group. Is our group The Daily Show / The Colbert Report / The Nightly Show *and* Jon in whatever role he's in / Stephen in whatever role he's in (i.e. the host of a non-Comedy Central show), etc., or are we strictly The Daily Show (with whatever host) / The Colbert Report / The Nightly Show?

In other words, do we follow the host, or just the show?

This would be so much easier if Stephen hadn't left!

I think we keep this just to Comedy Central shows. I don't think Colbert will have authors on nearly as often as he did on The Report. I don't know this, of course, but...

We/you could start a new group such as "Late Night TV" or something like that and we could include Seth Meyers who has had several authors on. And, it appears that he reads the book.

I have no problem keeping this group as the Comedy Central shows -- that's how it started. But since Larry Wilmore doesn't have author guests who are there specifically to talk about their books (if he has an author, he just quickly mentions that they wrote a book, and the panel discussion rarely even has to do with the subject of the book), it makes for a very tiny monthly update!

*sniffle* I miss Stephen. *sniffle* I miss Jon.

Me, too, Tiffany. Me, too.

Searching for a book that was on the Daily Show. Pretty much explained simple actions, like shaking an hand properly. Any ideas?The host was Trevor Noah and the author was a Male with Glasses.

Well, Andrew, I feel like the librarian who is asked by a patron for a book with "…and I think the cover was blue with a cat in the window."

That said, I did peruse the list and nothing jumped out at me as a possibility. Do you know how to narrow the book list down?

Trevor Noah has been the host since September, 2015. You can select only Daily Show books (1097) then put them in order of appearance (most recent to oldest). That pares it down to about 400.

See if that helps, Andrew. Let me know if you need more help.
