Faith Noah More

I’ll cop to a certain amount of Schedenfreud, watching the array of reliably “progressive” and utterly un-funny late-night talk shows sinking beneath Greg Gutfeld.
Four years of Donald Trump made conventional late-night “comedy” indolent and lazy. Writers – many of them not very funny to begin with – seemed to think anything with Trump in the punch line would earn ’em a laugh. The “A-list” “talent” hosting these affairs – dismal talking heads like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, whose careers peaked at parodying “Red” media and watching women jumping on trampolines, respectively – aren’t helping much.
And few stories of of this decline make me happier than Trevor Noah’s Daily Show, which traded the (relative) wit and charm of Jon Stewart for…
…well, Trevor Noah. I’d normally tell a joke at this point at Noah’s expense, but it seems fitting to remain un-funny.
And between a lame host and “writing” that can’t quite find, well, any traction in any way, the Daily Show is sinking fast.
The “Daily Show” host is as reliably progressive as his peers, although he occasionally will smite his own side (at least far more than Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel). Still, his show’s most recent ratings snapshot isn’t bad
It’s abysmal
“Abysmal” may be charitable:
#Shrug.
How bad has it gotten?
Noah has sunk below the unctuous, priggish John Oliver. Below the hapless and abysmal Samantha Bee. Ahead of the pointless, Colbert-produced “Charlemagne Tha God”, and nothing more.
Will Hollywood learn?
It’s been 30 years, and newspapers still haven’t.

Behind Samantha Bee? That’s gotta sting.

Wasn’t Noah the guy who delivered the “skit” with Stewart about how his racism card was overdrawn? Pretty clever perspective. Shame the guy never learned anything from it.

The only “sharp” thing about either of ’em.

Maybe Noah should try wearing tampon earrings.

I wrote a long rebuttal, about being grateful you have a platform at all…but it is lost in moderation.
