Reply to comment by Necessary-Image-6386 in Comedy Central Considers ‘Daily Show’ Host Rotation After Trevor Noah Departure by Neo2199

Make movies. Write. Do stand up. Who knows? But anything beats doing a mediocre show that you know you’ve never really made your own.

I gave up on the Trevor Noah Daily Show about a week after he started. Checked it out one more time about a year later and still couldn’t do it. My partner kept up with it somewhat regularly via YouTube for years.

When we found out he was leaving we both had the same reaction - we couldn’t believe he had been doing it for seven years because it always felt like he still hadn’t found his groove. In both our minds he was still “just getting his footing” - but that can be an excuse for a 1-2 years at the very best. Seven, though?

He’s smart to move on before his career is totally tanked.

He's found his groove to me. The Trump years, the pandemic? I thought he killed it

Hey to each their own. Personally, I felt like he just constantly made the most obvious jokes possible and that was made worse by his delivery.

Also, not his fault, but some of the worst correspondents I’d ever seen. If I have to hear that one guy make one more Asian joke…
