Comic Relief
Laughter is the best medicine, though in these times it is often biting political humor. Here are my go-to list and recent blog postings when I want to catch a lighter version of the news and current events:
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah – coverage of the day’s news stories with a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWhs_6x42TyRM4Wstoq8HA. One of the more recent videos:
A Closer Look – Late Night with Seth Myers – deeper analysis of issues with a modicum of humor. https://www.youtube.com/user/LateNightSeth. Most recent video:
Singing Comedian Randy Rainbow – great singing chops, excellent lyricist, very political, R-rated language and jokes, current events. https://www.youtube.com/user/Tday4U. Most recent video:
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – 22 minute shows on the more serious side by former The Daily Show comedian.
