Samantha Bee has reimagined Ted Cruz's election campaign and it is pretty tremendous (#Cruzcuts)

Samantha Bee left the Daily Show earlier this year. Enjoyed by millions for her sardonic smile and creeping wit on the Daily Show, she is now focused, as are many Daily Show alumni, on a late-night talk show—Full Frontal. With the show on the horizon, she has begun promoting it via social media sites like Twitter. Her newest campaign is a series of shorts called #CruzCuts, where presidential hopeful—and all around creep show personality—Ted Cruz is lambasted in absurdist fashion. What Samantha Bee and her team have done is get some fair use outtakes and footage, clearly shot by Ted Cruz for campaign commercials, and reimagine them.

you finally have to get off your ass and finally listen to Arrested Development, a rap group from the early '90s.

between "Mr.Wendel" and "Arrested Development? Another artist I listen to is KRS-One (BDP), the one Killer Mike wishes he was as good as.

TDS w/Trevor Noah is OK... has its moments.
The Nightly Show too. Hopefully both will keep growing & improving.
But 11:00 to 12:30 hasn't been the same since Jon, Stephen, and Dave left their respective shows.
The Late Show w/Stephen has plenty of good moments too. But it just isn't as compelling as the Colbert Report or Letterman's show, IMO. I'll always be a fan of Colbert's. I record & watch his show, but if I'm honest, it is something of a chore.
John Oliver's weekly show on HBO is the best of the bunch at present.
Very much looking forward to Full Frontal.

than when Mitch McConnell has a real with his wife, turning and creepily smiling to the camera, and people set that to music.

is from a public website, where his campaign uploads it to get around coordinating with SuperPACs.

The Daily Show had a piece on it & encourages you to #CruzYourOwnAdventure.
