Trevor Noah isn't funny.

There, I said it.

Someone else should do the Daily Show.

He's ruining what Jon Stewart built.

I'm surprised he hasn't been replaced yet.

Surely, the ratings can't be good.

He looks cute in that picture tho.

Well, on the bright side, insufferable Lilly Singh doesn't have a show anymore.

Not even the return of Jon Stewart could save the Daily Show now. Same goes for Stephen Colbert and his late-night snoozefest.

They should never have left in the first place.

He's unfunny, untalented and strangely smarmy. He's always seemed like a phony, like he doesn't believe all that he pretends to. I get a similar vibe from John Oliver, constantly screaming about American imperialism yet married to rich republican military trash.

It’s disgraceful that Jon Stewart was replaced by this unfunny hack who isn’t even American. There weren’t any funny people in New York they could have chosen?

Trevor Noah is funny.

I remember during a writers' strike Jon Stewart had to improvise, and was not funny at all. He became popular because people liked the irreverence and politics.

Jon Stewart and to a lesser extent Stephen Colbert are among the reasons we got Trump. Stewart egged Trump on and then left before the 2016 election, making one of the few voices that could have encouraged young people to vote absent at one of the most critical times.

I like that Amber Ruffin has her own show now but I think she would have been a great Daily Show host.

r1 Fallon is less funny than Trevor, and just got a five-year contract renewal while being dead last in the ratings (under a million viewers a week).

He gets away with a lot such as being not funny , racist and misogynistic because he is black and woke. Someone mentioned smarmy and yes that’s what he is cynical and smarmy.

It took me a while to get used to him. I did. I loved him.

But now he's done whatever other liberal news comedy show has done: Quit being funny.

Every other segment is now some version of: White men bad. POC perfect victims.

If there was a drinking game where you had to drink a bottle of Jack every time Noah, Bee, Colbert, Oliver, and Myers talked race? We'd all be wasted every weekday night.

I still watch each of those. They saved me during Trump (esp Myers' A Closer Look). But now I usually fast forward to see who the guest is.

He is hilarious you must be a killjoy

Not gonna watch him until he cuts his hair back to that sexy crew.

He is hot and I want to see him naked.

I knew nothing about him until I watched "Comedians in Cars" featuring him and I was ready to like him because he had an interesting career projectory/ back story. I can't put my finger on why I wasn't crazy about him, just something about his personality/ humor never clicked for me. He lacked that natural comedic charm some comics seem to radiate. Even Fallon, which I can't stand usually, proved why he's loveable/ charming in his personal episode. Made me wish he was more like his natural self on his show.

He’s homophobic too. His jokes about lesbians were fucked up and he never apologized or even deleted them. Fuckhead.

He also mocked the couple in the gay cake case on the show.

He's very funny. He's very smart. He's very handsome.

OP is incorrect.

Name some comedians that you do think are funny – yet have said nothing controversial.

Gays are the only he is definitely not funny. All he does are shitty accents.

Until I read r8 I didn't realize John Oliver's wife Kate Norley worked for the right wing Vets For Freedom. That sure is something.

He's quite the handsome men if short in the hair but not so much when longish.

[quote]he had an interesting career projectory

OH.FUCKING.DEAR!

If he was white and/or not anti-American, nobody would ever have heard from him. He's coasting on the fumes of wokism.

He is not funny or talented. But boy is he adorable. I want him to sit on my face.

Trevor Noah was a funny stand-up. Never liked the Daily Show after Craig Kilborn left (yes, I'm the only one I guess). BUT, it must be hard to do late night in the Orwellian PC times we are living in....

He has a history of homophobia.

Jesus freak. Hot but not funny at ALL.

He’s incredibly funny and the show is actually pretty successful ratings wise. So OP, wrong on both counts.

He's a token black. His job is safe until he dies.

One of the funny things about Jon Stewart was his self deprecating manner. The jokes about whites / Jews landed well because of this. Like using the N word if you are black. And his political insight cut both ways.

That is why Trevor doesn’t come across as well with similar material. I think they are still writing for Jon and it sometimes comes across as antagonistic.

By the same token, he couldn’t pull off Showtime at the Apollo humor because it would come across as unauthentic due to his South African heritage.

I like him sometimes. But he doesn’t stand out.

That annoying shtick of yelling at imaginary characters that he and Seth Meyers do make them unwatchable. How shrill interactions became a thing is beyond me.

I agree, OP. I have seen funnier stuff on The Disney Channel when I am baby sitting my niece.

[quote] He lacked that natural comedic charm some comics seem to radiate.

Nailed it, R17!

The P.C. police will be knocking on op's door in 3.... 2..... 1....

He’s beautiful though. Hate the mini fro.

Noah may have been homophobic in his earlier years, but on the show he's been fine.

I still watch the show, but it lost something after COVID hit and he started broadcasting from home.

Too many of the jokes are silly and on a grade school level, making me wonder if the absence of in person meetings with the other writers has made the show lose its footing.

I'm presuming that when the show is back in the studio, the ratio of stupid jokes will change.

I will say this: most of the other "correspondents" are still enjoyable during their segments.

He is awful. I watched one show after JS left and found him unfunny and unwatchable

He’s incredibly bigoted yet falls back on the “I’m black so a martyr” schtick. Which is something he has in common with African-Americans actually. The crudest bigotry and racism I’ve ever heard come out of people’s mouths has always been from African-Americans.

I always loved Jon Stewart. I stopped watching TDS after he left. I seem to remember Noah being something of a Bernie Bro, too, when I felt it was extremely unhelpful to discourage young people from supporting mainstream Democratic politicians, as those candidates were the only ones who had a chance winning elections.

People give Trevor Noah a pass because he's somewhat attractive.

Unfortunately, he's not funny at all.

The Daily Show has always been smart, sharp, biting, sarcastic humor.

Trevor Noah has none of that.

This hasn't been Trevor's week.

Minka Kelly dumped him.

[quote]People give Trevor Noah a pass because he's somewhat attractive.

That’s not why he gets a pass or why he was chosen to replace Jon Stewart.

I'd fuck him, then we could flip, but something tells me deep down he probably doesn't like the gays too much regardless of what he says on TV.

He doesn't need to be funny with uncut South African cock.

We started watching him last March and clung to his show for some kind of routine and 'normalcy,' also because he busted Trump on every show. But now when I see his show in our recordings list I just delete it. Not funny.

R52 iirc he posted homophobic tweets back in the day. He’s South African after all.

I found this poster on his wall.

David, I swear if you are whacking off to this photo, I'm going to BEAT you with my beret!!!!

R57 R58 and your dozen other posts here - you seem obsessed with him.

Why do we have a new thread on him when we just discussed his break up?

Anyway, I find that people either love him or hate him. He's doing something right because he remains on TV, so if you don't like him you must not be his target audience.

I feel like he’s been winging it comically ever since he started doing the show from home. He’s funny, but not good enough to ad lib a show like TDS on a regular basis. I watch outtakes on occasion, but once he starts the shouty repartee shtick, I click off.

[quote] He doesn't need to be funny with uncut South African cock.

You don't know that he's uncut.

Love him, and he’s funny. Jordan Klepper’s MAGA segments are some of the best comedy in the history of the show.

R47 You REALLY need to get our more. That rock is doing you no good.

I have never found any of these people the slightest bit funny, and have a deep, instinctive loathing for Jon Stewart, whose smarmy behavior has always made my flesh crawl.

Late night television annoys me.

I agree R66. All the audiences laugh like hyenas at the most witless jokes.

The audiences at the Bill Maher show also laugh like idiots when he's discussing the catastrophic idiocy of American society.

Minka Kelly is like Olivia Munn except the men she dates are straight. She goes through men like kleenex so it's good that he got rid of her.

Jon Stewart was always laughing at his own jokes and was a lousy interviewer, he made Joan Rivers look like Dick Cavett. Plus he aged terribly, I don’t know how he had a career after The State on MTV. Craig Kilborn was a better host.

[quote] Stewart was always laughing at his own jokes and was a lousy interviewer,

He's retired from mainstream TV now

He's no Bowen Yang, that's for sure.

Jesus H. Christ, it looks like he's retired from a whole lot more than that.

[quote] it looks like he's retired

He has 'grown' into his natural face.

r54 I remember watching the show with JS after 9/11. He was so fucking comforting and funny during a time when he had no idea what was going on in our country. TN brings none of that to the show

r74 I think you are guys are just old now, like Stewart. 9/11 was 20 years ago. The show has to market itself to a new generation of viewers and Noah seems to fit whatever demo that is, millennials etc.. Noah will be guaranteed his job for at least the next few years, he has totally earned his keep in the last year alone. With racial relations practically collapsing the United States, he is essentially the perfect individual to host.

Good comedy is timeless R75.

Stephen Colbert is such a cuck. What a turn off.

r69, Joan Rivers could be a genuinely great interviewer, up there with the best when she was on, knew just when to pull back.

[quote] He gets away with a lot such as being not funny , racist and misogynistic because he is black and woke. Someone mentioned smarmy and yes that’s what he is cynical and smarmy.

You aren't his demographic. He would not appeal to a septaugenarian.

[quote] Someone mentioned smarmy and yes that’s what he is cynical and smarmy.

All those late show hosts are smarmy aren't they?

They wear collar and ties on TV.

But you know they pick their nose, slob around the house and fart in their pyjamas.

I feel like it's been ages since we heard from Jon Stewart. He released a film about a year ago, a political satire with Steve Carrell and Rose Byrne. The timing was very bad though. It appeared from the trailer to be one of those " let's roll our eyes at both sides" films and after the latest republican disaster, it just wasn't very appealing.

But he ain’t funny though.

You don't need to be hilarious when you've got a big cock.

I can’t name a single current comedian who IS funny

Jon Stewart got old real fast. John Oliver got old even faster. Trevor Noah was never funny and seems insincere. I liked the Stephen Colbert show that came on after the Daily Show, but what Colbert does now is boring.

R84 Are you talking stand-up comedian? Or situation-comedy comedian?

He’s a talentless homophobic piece of shit.

He sneers at the audience.

R47 The crudest bigotry and racism I’ve ever heard come out of people’s mouths has always been from African-Americans.

Racism doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It exists within a hierarchical structure with power at its core. Racism only works because one group has power and other groups do not. And it is white people who – historically, and in the West at least – hold the power when it comes to racial divides, thanks to centuries of Eurocentric beliefs and structures that continue to privilege whiteness. If you manage to read this, you'll see that it's impossible to be racist about white people.

R90 These people might spoil your generalisation—

Aliko Dangote, $10.6 billion. Mike Adenuga, $9.1 billion. Robert Smith, $5 billion. David Steward, $3.9 billion. Oprah Winfrey, $2.7 billion. Strive Masiyiwa, $2.4 billion. Patrice Motsepe, $2.3 billion. Michael Jordan, $1.9 billion.

It's not about wealth. There have always been fabulously wealthy black people - look at some of the leaders in Africa, going back centuries.

But when one group feels itself superior to another, just by virtue of being the "superior race", then that's racism. There are plenty of people who think Oprah and Michael Jordan are beneath them because they are of an inferior race. That's racism. Nothing to do with money or even the power of any individual person of a perceived "inferior" race.

He's not funny, all he does is lecture the audience and hand-pick material that fits his agenda. Boring, and annoying . He also lacks the ability to laugh about himself.

Noah admitted he's cut in an interview years ago you bitches and he's back with his "beard" the gorgeous Minka Kelly. Who is currently enjoying his cut dick while on vacation in St. Barts.

I'm reading BORN A CRIME and it is funny and informative. I think he could be funny again. I think it must be hard to be a black entertainer right now--or ever, for that matter.

I wish Comedy Central realized that he isn't funny. Even the ads prompting viewers to watch are shockingly unfunny. Noah is no Jon Stewart.

Haven't watched TDS since Noah's first year as host. A lot of his political jokes seemed to be from his non-American outsider's perspective, as in, "You guys are SO fucked!". While true, it wasn't that funny to me.

>Never liked the Daily Show after Craig Kilborn left (yes, I'm the only one I guess). Gawd, I hope so. If there were a competition for most smug and smarmy, Kilborn would win hands down.

John Oliver had such promise, but he trying to be the most woke guy ever. Plus, someone told him or his writers that that adding the word "fuck"to any sentence is just hilarious. I am not offended by profanity, but using it doesn't fucking make any fucking sentence fucking funny, either.

TPTB at the Daily Show were too afraid to turn it over to Jessica Williams, who was naturally the heir apparent.

Black girls weren’t as in vogue at that moment so they went safe with Trevor Noah. I do not agree with those politics but again I don’t have to if it’s funny. It is just not funny. At all. It’s actually aggressively UNFUNNY.

But yes he is handsome though, so I suppose there is that.

[quote]The P.C. police will be knocking on op's door in 3.... 2..... 1....

Trolldar reveals that you're talking to yourself, so go shove a hardbound copy of "Race, Class and Gender" up your ass.

Trevor is a great host, I watch his show every night!

Noah's Trump impressions were funny, I thought. Now he doesn't have Trump as a comedy goldmine. The way he would relentlessly troll Eric was hilarious.

I like Trevor but he can be too preachy. Jordan Klepper is hands down the best part of the show.

I guess even Minka Kelly thinks he's not funny either.

Can't watch Trevor, can't watch John Oliver.

Since Stephen Colbert has gotten sincere, I find him embarrassing.

I agree, R105.

You can't wear the mask of a comedian simultaneously to wearing the mask of a Social Justice Warrior.

Each role neutralizes the other and plays the audience for fools.

He's on vacation for two weeks, but can't Comedy Central make it a permanent vacation?
