Trevor Noah doesn't seem to have any understanding that it's not a "moment of Zen" when you edit it to suit yourself.

Why is this popular? It's just a bunch of people virtue signaling about how they know better than everyone else. Too political for my taste, especially when it's just a bunch of lies.

Choosing Trevor Noah to replace Stewart......what a tough call/high bar in the hiring of the torch-bearer for this show.And, as far as I'm concerned the choice of Noah reflects both the toughness of that call and the height of that bar: Noah is an amazing person.He has much of the spirit of Stewart, and then some.Stewart did a great job, and he's a national treasure. But it's instructive to make a reasoned comparison; what does Noah bring that Stewart may have (somewhat) lacked?Here's the deal: A comedian/comic can acquire skills from years working in front of crowds in stand-up... and that's what Stewart did.But... Noah HAS THEATRE CHOPS. Noah has, really, everything that Stewart did, PLUS theatre chops. And that's an amazing thing to see.So, the way I see this transition is that Noah has *everything* Stewart had (not forgetting top staff!), and then toss in very mature theatre chops, and you've only improved the product.There is one other thing: One senses that the Daily Show producers used this transition as a cover to make some changes in content programming: That is, The *new* Daily Show (with Noah) both bumped up the produced content quality AND nudged over a bit in the direction of including more global perspective... which the old show did rather lack. These are *great* decisions!So: If'n yuz asks me, the new Daily Show took an amazing show and only made it better.

I loved John Stewart and literally everyone else that has received a spin off show is amazing. Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver are among my favorites. But Trevor Noah has the comedic sensibilities of a preteen. He has awful timing, is too drab, boring, his delivery sucks more than any comedian I have ever seen make it to TV. Literally anyone from the cast of 30 Rock would've made a better host than him.Trevor Noah sucks. He is not funny at all and I cannot believe or understand Comedy Central's willingness to double-down on several years of destroying an institution that we loved so much under John Stewart's.... Stewartship? <- See what I did there? That unfunny awful garbage would be good enough to make it onto the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. God I miss John Stewart. I guess we should all just stick with John Oliver and wait for Comedy Central to grow a pair.
