Woah... Such bias

That was...*the* most biased election coverage I've ever seen. The only way it could have been more biased would be if they had been broadcasting from Clinton's Campaign HQ. How sad.

Agreed. Trevor, his lackeys, and whoever that woman was as a guest towards the end made it seem like they were covering a huge natural disaster or terrorist attack with an ever-climbing death toll. So many false conclusions drawn about Trump voters. If people who vote for Trump are automatically hate-filled racist misogynists then Hillary voters are corrupt lying embezzling elitist treasonous criminal scam artists.

Does anyone still watch this crap?

I just watched my first and last episode for the sole reason of seeing these people lose their minds over Trump winning.

It was actually hilarious to watch - seeing them so shellshocked on air trying to adjust to an outcome they did not expect.

Colbert's show was the same way. The tones were so somber it was they heard about Trump winning each state they acted like they were hearing increasingly huge death tolls from a tsunami, nuclear attack, or asteroid impact.

I didn't watch the live election day coverage on The Daily Show, I was busy serving as an election judge at the time.

It's sad and pathetic that the Hillary bootlickers on TDS that Trevor inherited from Stewart are sabotaging his tenure, however.

On the plus side, it looks like Stewart's awful "Indecision" garbage is now a product of the past and will be forever associated with his era. We can all breathe a HUGE sigh of relief that there was no Stewart-style "Indecision 2016" special.

Trevor needs to look at how Craig Kilborn covered the '96 and '98 elections. Time to learn from the master of comedy!
