Take on Thursday Night's Main event

Despite having gotten only 3 hours on uninterrupted sleep last night and having had a generally miserable sleep week, I will be staying up way later than my 10:30 bedtime tonight as the combination of the debate and the last Daily Show is too much to pass up

I realize that The Daily Show will continue but so did Van Halen with David Lee Roth quit and look how that worked out.  Maybe still a money cow but just not nearly as good.  I imagine it is not the end of Jon Stewart -although I hope he doesn't bore us with another directorial attempt- and comes back and does a podcast or webcast or something but until then coverage of the political landscape will be a lot more boring.  

Whereas 11pm will be bittersweet, the Debate a few hours earlier will probably come up lame as  @drewmagary says.   Ten people debating isn't a debate.  It's just a shitty conference call.

But just as people listened into Howard Stern just to find out what he would say next, the nation will be glued to Fox's debate to see what The Donald will come up with next. 

I imagine he'll try too hard and the other 9 idiots will try even harder to be quirky and funny all while taking backhanded swipes at him, so like a Mayweather fight it will be way more hype than action but still you will need to watch

So let's hope the gloves come off and we're in for 12 rounds, which are probably the amount of rebates they'll have.   Thinking about it, they really should just go American Idol style here and vote one guy off the stage each time until we're left with one.  let's just hope it's Carrie a Underwood and not one of those nameless schleps from the last few seasons
