1st of all, Dan Crenshaw is not "on the far other side of where he is". He's pretty much in the middle on most issues.

And 2nd, you "have a lot of respect" because he has 1 Republican on his show a year. Rand Paul last year, Crenshaw this year. Man, what a guy he is.

Its ok to give a nod to "them" bro...it wont kill ya.

I dig some of Bill Maher's takes as well....should I be drawn and quartered???

Jon Stewart was a liberal but at least had talent & could make people laugh.

Here's the deal...Jon Stewart and Craig Kilborn were both naturally funny/clever. Stewart was a step up from Kilborn, but I liked them both. Trevor tries too hard, and it rarely works.

He's not John Steward.

I think the cringey-est thing he does (often) is his "nerdy white guy" impersonation voice.

Unlike, say Chappelle who does a funny recognizable uptight white guy voice, Noah's South African english accent makes his white guy imitation strange & unplaceable. It's just not funny and makes me wince.

This. . .uhhh

Well, this nails it

Amber Ruffin makes Trevor Noah look more talented than Johnny Carson.

Endurance Challenge. I made it less than 90 seconds

Terrible bump about a fricktard. I'm in a hotel and have limited channels. I was watching reruns of The Office, and his show started right after.

I had no idea he doesn't have an audience or even a laugh track. It makes him so much less funny than I thought he was in the commercials.

They have got to be losing money putting this dude on tv, right?

They're probably happy if all they do is break even at this point because it's abundantly they can't or won't fire him.

By doing a basement show with no audience and no production value and I assume (I never watch this piece of shite show) that all guests are over zoom now, which costs nothing, so the production expenses associated with the show are virtual nonexistent, therefore freeing up enough to vastly overpay your host and cross your fingers you make any profits at all.

Comedy Central basically has no programming anymore except Daily Show and South Park. Like most Viacom channels now, they are basically barely even a network anymore. If they didnt get those automatic cable subsidies, they'd be bankrupt. Becaue nobody watches anything on that network anymore outside of the occasional South Park rerun or new episode.
