16. Wilmore is what Stewart was

and at the risk of sounding racist, because he is a black american, he can skewer race in ways the Noah cannot, because Noah has not lived the Black American experience. Granted, Noah could take a tip from Oliver and use his foreigner status in a more edgy way (like his comment about "for 100 dollars a day" his best high point yet.) In some ways Wilmore is BETTER than Stewart, because while he can be angry, he never has to use the "ar-e-you-fuckin-kidin-me!" Noo Yawk angry shock jock act Stewart did.

However, i will not panic, because while the Daily show is in flux, we now have Wilmore, Oliver, and soon Bee. More attacks, spread out. Of course, I have my idea for who could replace Noah. Get a male and female lead. For those who used to watch attack of the show, get Chris Hardwick and Olivia Munn, who could easily do the 2016 version of Dan Akryod and Jane Curtin.
