Noah is occasionally funny to me, but his correspondents are not. And I rarely watch his interviews.

Wish Stewart and Colbert were still on comedy central, those were the good ole days.

Trump broke him just like Stephen Colbert. I watched the Colbert Report religiously for years. I know he was playing a character but it was fun. He's unwatchable these days and has lost his frickin mind.

Trevor Noah is one of the many people in the entertainment industry that I don’t understand why they have a job.

Do you guys even watch his shows at all? I agree he's not funny all the time but there were actually a few times he cracked me up, bigly.

He cracks me up every once in a while, but morr often then not, his deliveries are cringy, and not in a funny awkward way. He’s a million times better than Samantha Bee, Kimmel, and Colbert tyese days. Noah is borderline watchable, but he just doesn’t compare to John Stewart at all.

I enjoyed his stand-up, but I just can't do the Daily Show. Most of the jokes are not funny, and it seems like it focuses on more of his hatred for Trump rather than making good political jokes.

Too often the show is filled with him sharing his political opinions, coupled around saying how Stupid or evil Trump is. That is simply not good satire.

Trevor Noah makes my skin crawl and not bc of his political viewpoint. For a guy who gets paid to be funny, he really sucks at being funny.

I love comedians taking massive shits on trump, but Trevor Noah just flat out sucks and has ruined that show. I think I gave him about a month or two when he first took over, but it’s just so bad.

I still can’t believe the Comedy Central didn’t lock down John Oliver to replace Jon Stewart back when they had the chance. Oliver was the perfect replacement for Stewart, as he proved when he took over hosting duties when Stewart left tovdirect his movie. I genuinely miss the daily show. I like Oliver’s hbo show, but it sucks that it’s just on one night.

Trevor Noah is a black South African who came to America to tell white people that they're racist. I hope to God I run across him on the street one day when nobody else is around.

. How can a show like this sustain itself?

Because there are people who require continual assurance that their opinions are the correct ones to have and to hold. The Daily Show gives them permission to hate the current administration even if the reasons are small and picayune

.As to Noah himself, he's about on par with Larry Wilmore and not especially funny

The same way that Hannah Gadsby is supposed to be funny. It's humor drenched in superiority and self-importance.
