I'm so glad to see him back! It was tough to deal with the news without his humorous take on it - and his timing was perfect, no shortage of material this week!

I'm just relieved he's back - it was tough to deal with Trump news without his humorous take on it! He really is excellent, he calls out Trump and his ridiculous antics like nobody else. Here's his return show from Monday, if you missed it, he sure had a lot of material just waiting for him!

Hope you're feeling better! And I'm a Beatles fan, too. When they made their initial TV appearance, my mother called me out to the TV to watch - she said it was important and historic and I needed to see it!
