Unlike many of the entries here my preference is John Stewart. I do enjoy Colbert but Stewart’s humour is more my cup of tea. As for their irreverence of church, I love it, the mores the better. May the God-squads of the world suck up their hypocrisy & blind ignorance of the ridiculous nature of their delusions…

Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert are great political satirists. The biased, vindictive mockery of the Catholic Church by Jon Stewart, last week and other religious topics (Jewish, etc.) by Colbert , as well, disrespect the mainstream religious bodies in their positive contributions to society, contributing to a destructive cynicism. Some of the bawdiness of the jokes in prime time are a surprise as this is a main channel for viewing by young people as well.

This is awesome, also interesting timing, since Viacom is pulling TDS and TCR from Hulu (american site for legally watching various networks shows online with ads) on march 9, which is a bummer since im in USA till april, but i look forward to iViewing it when i get back.

I presume this means colbert is rating well enough to warrent TDS, which is great news for an american fake news show.

Lets just hope it doesn’t have the same tuesday morning issues as colbert does on iView.

Thank you ABC! Picking up Colbert was good but Stewart is the icing. The only thing that could make my day better would be for the ABC to pick up the Glenn Beck Show as well…

I think this is fantastic but not sure if Stewart will beat Colbert in my eyes. Colbert is much better….!

And just to add…… I get Colbert at 4.30pmWST which is 7.30pmEST on my Foxtel Satellite which makes it a heck of a lot better than watching it at 7.30 local time in FTA!

Yipeeeeee!!

At least some people are using their brains and mice to read what we really want!

Bazza (5:45pm),

The reason why the time-slot’s 7:15pm is because without ads, Stewart & Colbert only run for twenty minutes each.

Great news! Both SBS1 & TEN only aired the ‘Global Edition’ on weekends after midnight, so prime-time is a big move by ABC2.

No word yet, but it should be good for iView watchers too.

Probably would have been better starting at 8pm, so political junkies could watch the 7:30 report.

@Reubot yeah it was on 10 for a while last year, I wonder what happened there?

It’s a shame it’s on at such a silly time. It’s going to overlap the primetime shows that kick in at 7:30pm, which means I’m going to miss it, or parts of it, on a regular basis. Why couldn’t they have had it starting at 7:00pm? It’s not like there’s anything else on any channel at that time.
