Official: I wish Sam Bee got the Daily Show hosting job.

After the second episode of Full Frontal had me rolling like I did while watching the first, as I sit blank staring at the new Daily Show, I'm realizing that Sam would have been a fucking Amazing host of my once favorite show.

Yes indeed. Jon Stewart's dead-pan was his trademark. Xipe Totec Feb 2016 #6

He does not seem comfortable or at ease with himself.

He laughs at his own jokes far, far, far, too much.
He also resorts to impersonations/voices far too often, and they are not his strength, in my opinion.
Maybe it was the way it was edited, but I thought his interview with Ben Stiller the other night went off the rails at the end b/c Trevor couldn't resist the urge to do a voice and make some joke that really had nothing to do with anything.
I'm still watching TDS faithfully... and I hope he finds his stride.

But Full Frontal is great, and Samantha Bee would have been a great successor to Jon.

I think Trevor's flaws are fixable, but he needs to get on it PDQ.

but I never miss his show. His cast is great, too.

Oliver is in a class by himself. Anything he does would be great.
