3 Reasons For And Against John Oliver Getting A Daily Show Spin-Off
The Daily Show is one of my favorite shows on television, and, until recently, I wasnt sure if that was just because I love Jon Stewart as a comedian and a person. While Im a huge fan of Stewart, Ive been enjoying John Olivers recent hosting of The Daily Show. The show hasnt skipped a beat with Oliver at the helm, and his performance has been a breath of refreshing air, especially when I was unsure as to the quality of the show during Stewarts film-making vacation. Oliver has performed magnificently in the absence of his boss, Stewart. Ive heard rumors that this is a sort of test run to see if Oliver could, potentially, take over hosting The Daily Show if Stewart were to retire from the show. His performance has been so impressive that I could even see him getting his own show on Comedy Central, much the same as Stephen Colbert did all those years ago. Im tentative toward that happening. Here are 3 reasons why I think Oliver should get his own show, and 3 reasons why he shouldnt. If you feel strongly toward either side, shout it out below!
