The Daily Show (1996– )
8/10
He's no Jon Stewart, but I really like Trevor Noah!!!
22 March 2017
It's hard to fill the shoes of someone who was such an iconic host...as is obvious with Trevor Noah taking over 'The Daily Show' from Jon Stewart. Admittedly less successful than Jimmy Fallon was replacing Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show', Noah would probably be taken a lot more favorably had this been his own show from the start and not as Stewart's replacement ~ a VERY hard act to follow.

That being said, Trevor Noah IS funny...especially his comedic take on the current Trump Administration and all its pathetic minions, from Sean Spicer to Kellyanne Conway. Add into that the corrupt Vladimir Putin, deranged Kim Jung Un, and our entire dysfunctional Congress, Noah could easily do an hour long show five nights a week!

This South African native has spot-on comedic timing and sarcastic facial expressions that really bring the jokes home! Although 'The Daily Show' still has dozens of writers like it did with Stewart, without someone to deliver them in a funny way makes them completely useless. And unlike many of the reviewers here, I find Trevor Noah hilarious ~ and really look forward to the show the four weeknights it's on!
