Episode 1: The Post-Jon Stewart World: Political Comedy in 2016

Bloomberg Politics' John Heilemann and Will Leitch kick off their podcast about the intersection of politics and popular culture with an extended discussion of the tumultuous state of late-night political comedy in the wake of Jon Stewart's exit from "The Daily Show." How's Trevor Noah doing? What's the best show for candidates to appear on? Why is Seth Meyers doing the most political talk show out there? And who's gonna win the Fallon/Colbert/Kimmel battle? Heilemann and Leitch also talk to venture capitalist Fred Wilson, one of the early investors in Twitter, about which candidates have embraced tech and which haven't, how Twitter is affecting the race for president, and whether politics will ever be the same. We're gonna do a lot of these: This is the first one. E-mail: [email protected]. Site: http://www.bloombergpolitics.com. Come say howdy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
