Spectre is probably my number two pick in Twisted Metal 2 after Thumper.
Should have been more clear, that the legacy parts (Oliver, Colbert, Sam Bee, Noah) have become pandering, unfunny horseshit.
Sam Bee's show I find kinda weird, she's much better in the interviews/remotes, the rest I enh dunno.
Oliver is certainly an acquired taste humor wise, but I think his show is the least pandering and the most "daring" in terms of taking on an entire subject for 15-25 minutes and exploring it way beyond even normal news, he gets all the recent news story stuff which is probably really his weakest episodes but also grabs all sorts of underplayed stuff. In a lot of ways I feel it's less a Daily Show successor than Penn and Teller's: Bullshit masquerading in the Daily Show format.
Colbert is still mostly the Late Show, he's just taken his background with Colbert and Daily Show to do a more politically themed opening segment sometimes (that's punched against Maddow and others too) instead of spending thirty years telling the same lame jokes three out of four nights a week, doing the same video stunt gags, and edgy innovative comedy like The Top Ten List.
Noah's in a rough spot, but I actually wish he'd do more with his unique outsider take and his real humor style, he has toyed with it but seems to always pull back and it makes his show more of an afterthought, when Stewart specifically told him he hired him because he was so different and that he should throw out everything and start with his own vision, it's also why Oliver was at the top of his list. But I imagine that's actually what most American viewers and Comedy Central want least. Comedy Central has certainly shown its confidence in Noah by surrounding it now with The Opposition, The Jim Jefferies Show and The President Show.
