The match-up is Team Daily Show vs. Team Y&R.

(Steve Colbert)


Obviously, we're looking for who's funnier and each may use whatever tools they usually do to accomplish their goal.

Who would win?

[Fishy]

One side has Chris Rock, he's not funny at all... He has some okay movies but nothing more, so the other side wins by default

[Marushia]

First of all, have you ever seen any of his stand-up work?

Secondly, most people would argue that Colbert alone outshines either of Stewart or Black (in fact, John Stewart once regarded Colbert as being "the future of fake news" during one of his shows), yet my feeling is that the two of them combined would easily outshine Colbert, were he alone.

[IKC]

This matchup looks to be a giant suckfest.

[Traya]

The Daily Show team dies automatically for producing some of the very worst satire that I've ever seen in my life.

How you Americans can survive with imbeciles like . . . them; I'll never know.

[Darth_Glentract]

What are you talking about? The Daily Show is one of the best shows in the world. I'd say the Daily Show team wins.

[Traya]

Please. I had the misfortune to watch several of their episodes on More4.

It sucked. Go watch `Have I Got News For You` or some other decent program.

[Illustrious]

I'll have to agree with Traya. The Daily Show dumbs down its Satire so it's reached to a wider audience.

I've watched through several episodes where I'm completely unmoved. Sometimes I feel as if I was watching CNN or BBC, except with a guy who tries too hard to be funny.

This is crap. British Comedy superexceeds american comedy.

Chris Rock and Colbert wipe the floor with both Colbert and fatass. Both could do it alone, actually.
