Sometimes it goes so far to the other end that it becomes amazing though. The Jason Bateman interview where its literally just them joking about Bateman going to a Jewish party and not knowing what anything is is one of my favorite bits Jon ever did
Who isn't using the DVR?

Jon chose his successor well.
I think it's simply people don't like him. The interview format could use work, but I'm not sure people are even getting to that portion of the program.
That "plea" was for the non Comedy Central viewers. Since Viacom was only broadcasting the Daily Show on all their channels (Nick, VH1, Logo, BET, etc...) and not the Nightly Show, he was asking people to turn the channel to Comedy Central before their channels went back to their normal scheduled broadcasting.

Yeah, Noah was a really weird choice, but I think I can see why Jon had so much faith in him.
No matter how this turns out, I'm glad they went for an unknown instead of someone more established (even if it's because all the famous people said no)
Once he learns about the Mets, I think he'll be even better.

Good start to the new TDS. Trevor was much more comfortable than Jon in his first time in the chair.

Great first show.
I was honestly blown away by how comfortable and natural it felt. Both my girlfriend and I laughed out loud a lot and I love the new correspondent.
I know this will be controversial but I thought Noah did better in his first show then Colbert did taking over the late show.
I know it's not quite comparable and part of it is I just enjoy political humor but yeah.

Wilmore has this weird smarminess about him.
Stewart, Colbert and Oliver are constantly grinning at the camera, but they don't miss a beat when there's a chance to make themselves the butt of a good joke, too.
I don't get that from Wilmore. When he grins at the audience I don't feel like he's in on the joke with us, I feel like he's just basking in his 15 minutes, thinking about how awesome he must look.
He's awful at improv, too. When he goes off script is usually pretty groan-worthy, and he has a tendency to run a joke into the ground when it doesn't get the response it was expecting.
He'll just keep beating a horse even when the stick he's using is weak as hell. Sometimes he'll just curse because there's no other way to get a response to a punchline.
He's just not anywhere near on the level of his contemporaries.
Then there's *another* level of awkwardness where his audience just *never* really seems to be completely into what's going on.
I don't think I've ever heard Larry get more than a "smattering" of applause.
Wilmore has just never landed with me. I wasn't really a fan when he was a correspondent. I was shocked when he got the nod for a show. I gave it a chance at the beginning and didn't care for it. I was told to give it another chance more recently and I still just can't get into it.
It really comes down to I just haven't found him funny or most of his commentary interesting. Sure when he was channeling the brilliant writing not he Daily Show he was interesting but left to his own devices he really isnt.

Trevor killed it to night. Knew he could do it after I gave him a far shot in his stand up shows. Looking forward to this new daily show.

Not bad!
Was hoping for someone less spastic than Kevin Hart to get a feel for his interview style but overall he kept his shit together and made me laugh. The Whitney joke was a little tryhard but he had me at referring to Jon as an absentee father.

Fucking cant wait for Trevor and Larry back to back.

Wasn't as different as I thought it would be. He sorta brought his own version of "Stewartisms" in the joke delivery, and the jokes were on par as Jon Stewart's show.
I'll keep watching. The interview was pretty lame though.

I really enjoyed Trevor's debut tonight. I think I'll stick around for more.
The globe finally spins in the right direction!

I enjoyed Jon's run but I always forgot about the Daily Show and now that it's got Trevor, it feels fresh.
I'm surprised by how much Larry has grown on me and how little I enjoy Colberts new format.
Looking forward to catching up on Noah's first show.
As a skeptic of Colberts late show transition I have to say he utterly killed it tonight. At least with the segment after the very good Michelle Obama interview. I haven't laughed that hard for a late night show in a long time.

Very smooth transition, so far. It really felt exactly like I was watching The Daily Show I've always known. Which isn't too surprising, considering so much talent didn't change at all beyond the host. If he's starting this strong, I can imagine Trevor growing into the role even more. He still had some rough edges, but it was a great start.

Good episode. I'm not sold on Noah's delivery yet but the content itself is as good as ever. Given some time to grow into the role he could be great.
Dude needs to work on his spit-take, though. That was weak.

This episode almost felt like it tried a little too much to be like Stewart's TDS, but I ultimately enjoyed it and can't wait to see how the show's going to develop over the next couple of months.
