The Trevor Noah era has begun. Thoughts?

[KamaAina]

What was with that comic guy as his first guest?

[KeepItReal]

1. What's wrong with Kevin Hart?

Trevor Noah did just fine, BTW.

[KamaAina]

2. Nothing, really, but I figured the first guest would be a major get.

Like a candidate (Bernie was on with Larry Wilmore last week) or someone like that.

Then again, when Jon's guest was a major get, s/he would get two whole segments of the show.

[applegrove]

4. Kevin Hart is a big get. He's the fastest rising comic and storyteller there is.

[KamaAina]

8. Never heard of him until then.

And his first political guest is going to be Krispy Kreme!

[Bucky]

3. A little too dependent on hack comedy race jokes.

Ha ha, get it... we find water on Mars, but black people won't be allowed to go there. Ha ha ha!! Cause we all know how notoriously racist NASA & the federal government are in their hiring practices.

How positively edgy

[TipTok]

15. When I heard he was going to be the host...

... I looked him up on youtube and all the ones I saw were race related. Same thing for the bit I saw when he was on the Daily Show with Stewart.

It gets old after a while...

I always felt that they shoehorned Jessica Williams into that role during her segments on the old show. She has more talent than that...

21. (Love Jessica Williams). . . . . . n/t

[Fearless]

5. Who?

[KamaAina]

7. New host of The Daily Show

[Fearless]

11. I know

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. i think his comedy is on point, his interviewing skills need more experience

and because i am shallow, i like that he is super cute

[mackerel]

9. Hellz yeah

[applegrove]

10. I agree.

[ohnoyoudidnt]

12. That's about what I expected.

The show has good writers, but I think Jon would have done a better interview with Christie.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

13. i think trevor will get good with practice and comfort.

it's unfortunate for him that he was appointed right in the middle of a presidential election, but i think in a year he'll have gotten more comfortable with confronting people etc.

[KamaAina]

16. Yup.

I kept thinking how Jon would have handled Krispy Kreme.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. jon had years of practice though. one thing that does bother me about Trevor though, is that he seem

to want to please, whereas Jon while polite did not care to please his interviewee

[Shankapotomus]

14. A little bit too reserved

He seems too careful behind the desk.

I was hoping for the entire first show he would pretend act like a tyrant, terrorizing the correspondents and staff to the point of crying.

[lame54]

18. I think he is doing great - Thursday show was top notch...

the segment where he compared Trump to African Presidents was very funny and extremely well done

i wish people would allow him a little time to settle in to the role - he is very talented but under a lot of pressure to live up to Jon Stewart

One of his first jokes on his debut was how he always wanted 2 things - his own show and indoor toilets - and he is comfortable with one of them

He is going to do just fine

[Shoulders of Giants]

19. He's basically the opening act for Larry Wilmore.

[annabanana]

20. Started a bit uneven, but his bit of Trump as an African dictator?. .

Brilliant

[AtomicKitten]

22. He is charming and really, really cute. Oh, and funny. He should do well.

[Paula Sims]

23. I'm not quite used to his rhythm of delivery

and I think that rhythm is a bit too quick, too "asking for feedback". He'll get there. First week was quite good.

He's new, he needs to get his style together.
