Her show has zero filler, zero fluff, and I think just a half hour once a week has to help keep it sharp and focused.

Yet I agree that a once a week fix doesn't seem like nearly enough!

I know it's rude and selfish but I just miss her on the other 6 days.

I can't seem to get into Colbert like I did when he was after Jon so he's not helping fill the gap.
