THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART
Comedy Central, 11:00 p.m. ET
Jon Stewart can rest easily this summer, and so can we: The Daily Show is in great hands with John Oliver. Last night, his debut as host featured a great opening segment – on the latest electronic surveillance controversy – followed by an even funnier segment in which all of Oliver’s fellow correspondents got to vent their envy at Oliver’s summer promotion. It’s not easy being green, but they made it fun. The interview segment, with Seth Rogen, was less of a home run, but interviewing is tricky, so give Oliver time. Based on the rest of his first solo flight, he deserves some slack. And lots of support.
