Of course they got a record rating. They finally aired comedy for the first time in 3 years.

Wow, it's almost like most people like him despite what 0.0001% of the population on Twitter say...

There is no controversy. Comedians are not responsible for morons not understanding jokes.

You don't invite Dave and not expect controversial material. I'm positive he didn't do anything in secret and he delivered the exact same monolog in rehearsal. I sat in a room with 16 other people in attendance, many of them non-practicing jews and they genuinely laughed at all his material.
