Trevor Noah to host Daily Show

[Maxwell]

They should've just brought Steve Carrel back from the Oscar baiting abyss he seems to be falling into. Such a shame they go with such a nonentity.

he's even more mediocre than I thought. Yikes.

Amy Schumer's worth that much when all she has is a no-recognition show on CC?! I love her, and I think she would have absolutely been a better choice, but that seems like an odd placement for her anyway. I don't think I could see her on the Daily Show doing much political stuff.

I agree as someone who also thinks she's hilarious.

Might as well have gone with one of the Broad City gals.

Have you guys seen Jon Stewart's old standup? I never really appreciated it. I don't think standup and the host of The Daily Show necessitate the same skill sets.

After all, Jon Stewart is only Jon Stewart because of The Daily Show. Do you remember who he was before that? He'd had a short-lived TV show and a couple movie appearances, coupled with some meh standup.

I'm cautiously optimistic about Noah.

Stewart was a far better stand up than anything I've heard from Noah.
