RationalWiki's 2019 Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff – we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

If everyone seeing this today donates $5, we will meet our goal for 2019.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!

Talk:The Daily Show

I'm moving this to the Daily Show I think, since that's what the article is really about... ħumanUser talk:Human 01:37, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

John Oliver hosted The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.[edit]

Using the techniques I picked up from John Hogue, I have made a deduction:

  • You can add the "h" in "Jon" because of the silent "h" in Latin. This leaves us with "John".
  • We remove the last "t" from "Stewart" as you can always add or remove a letter.
  • The "l" and "t" are similar, so we can substitute one for another. We not have "Slewar"
  • "e" and "a" are both consonants, as are the "i" and "e", so those can be swapped: "Sliwer"
  • We can chop a dash of the "w" to get a "v": "Sliver"
  • This is almost like "Oliver" so that's close enough.

John Oliver is Jon Stewart!!!!1! Carpetsmoker (talk) 08:11, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

...and don't forget that "you can always outright change one letter" - thus turning the "S" in "Silver" into an "O" in "Oliver". Thus; the connection has now been scientifically proven. By the, uh, stars. All in all, some mighty fine sciencing you've done here, Carpet! Let's get you a book deal? :D Reverend Black Percy (talk) 19:10, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Trevor Noah backlash[edit]

Are we going to add anything on this? There was a lot of backlash against minorities "replacing" white roles with stuff like Fantastic 4's Johnny Blaze, Trevor Noah succeeding John Stewart and the Miles Morales thing.Keter (talk) 19:29, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Daily Show criticized Antifa unjustly[edit]

Recently the Daily Show did a 'hit piece' on Antifa which was innacurate, most likely because they were concerned with ratings and wanted to appease the pro-Trump demographic.

Problem is the show equating Antifa with ISIS is inaccurate, since Antifa is primarily a self-defense organization with a mission of defending against fascism, while in reality Neo-Nazis have much more in common with ISIS since their motive is invasion and oppression of others, much like ISIS. (Personally, I even believe that ISIS is largely spawned from white invasion in the Middle East, but that's another story).--24.89.35.17 (talk) 03:10, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
