The launch felt like a purposeful, and successful, reassurance to longtime fans that no one is interested in messing with a successful formula. Read full review

In all, Noah's first Daily Show was a solid success, and funnier than skeptics probably expected. Read full review

His first night in a very high-pressure situation, Noah seemed entirely at ease, starting with a little earnestness, segueing into material that he capably handled even though it still felt built to Stewart specs, and finishing with an entirely toothless interview with Kevin Hart. Read full review

For his first week, there was a lot of potential, as well as potential problems. Read full review

His version of the show doesn’t differ much from the one Stewart hosted at the end of his tenure. The correspondents are a mix of newcomers and holdovers, and the tone remains mostly bemused outrage at the state of the world.... In his first four shows, his personality didn’t shine through often enough. He was awkward in his interviews, failing to give Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie much of a challenge, and bumbling through more superficial celebrity chats. Read full review

With a couple of minor changes--new graphics, new desk--Noah's first show kept everything in place. The theme song, the correspondents, the Moment of Zen. The bent remains political.... As with every new host since the beginning of hosts, he was the least comfortable in the interview segment--with "comedic rock star" Kevin Hart. It made him seem young in a way the rest of the show did not. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Sep 29, 2015

It was a less than spectacular debut Monday--one that focused a bit too heavily on Noah's status as host.... Some of it was funny; some wasn’t. And some of it came perilously close to seeming like the show was trying to guilt us into liking him. Read full review

Trevor is doing a great job, a bit wobbly at first but I honestly can't see a difference in quality now that he has found his legs.

Give him a few more years and he will be synonymous with the Daily Show just like Jon was.

Anyone looking for Trevor Noah to be another Jon Stewart is looking for the wrong thing.

While I think he got off to a good start, I realize it is going to take him a while to get his footing and bring the Daily Show in the direction he wants to go. For now, I'm giving him a "7". ButAnyone looking for Trevor Noah to be another Jon Stewart is looking for the wrong thing.

Sounds like words written for jon stewart coming out of some puppets mouth. The guy comes across a a major dick. I watched the other night because Rachel Madow was on. Completely underwhelming.

Here's what's going on as U see it , and most probably closest to the truth One can get, reviewing this absolute tragedy from a so called Mulatto, as I am , although I see myself as African, Obama was labelled '' Black President, whilst even Carter pretended harder to have the AfricanHere's what's going on as U see it , and most probably closest to the truth One can get, reviewing this absolute tragedy from a so called Mulatto, as I am , although I see myself as African, Obama was labelled '' Black President, whilst even Carter pretended harder to have the African Community at heart then Minier Obama, I was fooled for 31 sec, when he got crowned , then I got to my senses, Back to Fake Boy Noah (I doubt sometimes, he is black, with his exaggerated Idiotic remarks supposedly against white people, and surprisingly, they've become even more sensitive and dear to call us racists, but when one has to white wash and write a whole race out of history., spend millions upon millions , covering up our incredible rich heritage, witch gave the so called EU's 2 x it's renaissance, it's first University, it's first stone buildings, as Greece and Rome, were at first African Provinces, and anybody denying that, is basically telling the Greeks who wrote many many pages on the Africans, and Africa , then called Ethiopia- Land were men are Gods, It is well known that despite the current sensitivity from white people who can not face their own brutal and extreem criminal behaviour, past and present, and have the nerve calling us racist, ...if so, we've learned from the best! I would be quite if you don't want to be destroyed on any topic, in any discusion, but hey, the moment we do talk about ''the Real deal'' you tell us that it was along time ago. I'm from 1967 .... in 1958, Belgium closed its last Zoo with Had Africans on display, what are you talking about, that was yesterday, not to mention the treatment I received until ..now! I had to give this little intro, to make you understand, that if you get upset, by an absolute Idiot, like Trevor Noah, who has the charisma of a Brick, and the personality of my dead Grandmother, and he's obviously a planted puppet, just like those idiots of BLM,. If you get upset by that, imagine how we must feel, plus the fact that most of you not even want to acknowledge the Millions that have died , raped, etc And all of a sudden, those calm intelligent white people, comfortable , and why not enjoy it, I would! loose their cool by that fakers, they are actors, BLM, and Noah! Isn't it obvious, it;'s hard to not have a sense of humor whilst being black, as one needs it to remain sane in this world, especially now, when the Only African Americans, are either grown men , shooting a ball thru a hoop, for a team that's owned by some bankers, or those fake Hip hop Muppets, with fake tattoos who are in fact colleagues from Trevor Noah, and most of them are Black Suriname Dutch born blacks pretending to be from the US, I know them personally 80% is , and the offspring off Porn-stars who bought themselves in to the movie world also, reason why everybody is complaining on the quality of even dumb (witch I liked still) movies like Terminator, Predator, I mean with all te effects, you basically need little writing, as we won't to see Predator mashing up some sh t, Even that they mess up, place in a midget so called S.A. as the new leader of the underground, and Arnold is there with his walker, pretending going of his accent, he arrived the day before yesterday, from Austria, going of his accent. Trevor Zebra, getting 6 times nominated!? That's a laugh, and then white people are taking him serious when he makes those Kindergarten jokes, His posture, he way of going, his book, it's seems all fabricated to me, and his so called Mother , that has absolutely no features in common. And all the attention from BLM, I can't believe white people are so childish, to see those Anglo-Africans, waving the black flag, bought by a Jewish white Greek, a friend of the Reuters clan, and others like him, and responding on it as if they are our representatives... I miss the good all racist days, where you all, didn't fake your true feelings, as you notice yourselves, you don't won't even totally scripted Negroes, who are actually on your side, as they are ridiculing any person of African Heritage, with their behaviour and idiotic debates, seeing that they got so quickly organised, and sooo much media attention, I thought it would be obvious to whites people that they are being used to inflame ... the not so bright ones amongst us. Anyway, word of advice, as they Noah, BLM, and all those Blond Dyed hair Negroes, impersonating a Cheeseburger, without the top bun, annoy me (us) even more then you with your sensitive self, and they even have Jon Stewart claiming in an interview, that the Show is now much more to the level it supposed yo be !!! With Trevor Zebra!!! I know he has to state that, to remain gracious, as he can't express himself the way we do (honest) Say it in an elevator, the supermarket ... but that was the title big in capital letters of some magazine .... LMAO, ( Imhotep , look him up ) and this I wrote for myself , don't expect anyone to actually read this anyway.… Expand

I just don’t get how this show still airs so boring. I feel nobody watches it I feel somebody powerful is paying to keep this awful show alive. It makes you feel shamed for being a white American.

Just so confused how it even makes money to stay on tv I can’t imagine any person would enjoy it even if they had the same political views as him. Another robot feeding me information.… Expand
