Larry Wilmore episode
The Wilmore episode was good. But Cornish could have pushed him harder on the White House Correspondents Dinner n-bomb. Wilmore says it was expressive, but it really came off as self-indulgent, since it overshadowed his entire set and took the focus off of comedy and sharp social commentary—and Wilmore had to know it would do that.

I have to think his n-bomb was a factor in that.
