The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

[FirstTimer]

Does anyone find this guy funny?

His story is amazing. The book "Born a Crime" is unbelievable. Really interesting guy...but, Jesus Lord Almighty he's not funny at all on The Daily Show. I know he had massive shoes to fill for Jon Stewart but...I've been trying to give him a chance on and off for years now and the jokes, his delivery of them, everything..just sucks.

He has his moments but I have never really JAJAJAJA'd out loud while watching his stuff. Not a bad commentator in general, though.

I actually enjoy some of his commentary when he's not trying to be funny. I guess maybe it comes down to I think he sucks as a comedian and/or The Daily Show writers are awful now.

I haven't watched The Daily Show since Jon Stewart retired. I've seen a few clips with Noah, and found some of it funny, but haven't watched a full episode once. I find it hard to even try given what Jon Stewart was for the show. Felt it would have been better to rebrand the whole thing rather than carry on with the same name.

I guess my other issue with Noah is he's terrible at interviewing people. That was really one of Stewart's strengths.

Honestly he puts me off my soup with how much he comes off as a twink

He's had a lot of funny moments. I think overall he's done well. I tried to watch one of his stand-up shows on Netflix though and I didn't think he was that great. I just wonder if I only find him funny because of the Trump administration, or if he actually is good at what he does.

I'm where Scoot's at. Haven't really watched at all since Stewart left.

I miss the Colbert Report.

I liked Stephen Colbert more on that haha

Yeah. Those ridiculous deadpan interviews were the best.

The Daily Show has lost too many of its strongest members over the years for me to tune in much anymore, but Trevor's stand-up is legit hilarity.

I recommend the set he just did for Netflix.

Sidenote: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee is pretty solid. Her and John Oliver were the last two Daily Show regulars to get me watching...more so than Stewart.

 

[dweebs19]

eh...he's ok. He has his moments

Samantha Bee's book is fucking hilarious.

He is fucking awful

Maybe I was too late and missed the golden years but I never understood why The Daily Show was more liked than The Colbert Report. It was much more interesting when I started watching them both.

I've seen clips of Trevor Noah's standups on Youtube and I like them, but never bothered to watch a full set, or The Daily Show since he started. Who's idea was it to bring in a foreigner anyway?

I watched the daily show with Craig Kilborn, all Jon Stewart episodes, and about 4 shows with Noah.

The bigger mess was the replacement for the Colbert Report, The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, that shit was unwatchable.

Colbert should send a nice fruit basket to Trump, his CBS show was dying before Trump, James Cordon had better ratings, they were supposedly thinking about switching time slots.
