I just can't get into Trevor Noah. I've tried.

No one can fill JS's shoes, of course, but IMHO, Noah doesn't even come close. Find myself turning to it by habit and then getting distracted by something else. I do enjoy Larry Wilmore, though; I've been turning into "The Nightly Show" well, nightly.

1. The Daily Show is right on track with Trevor...

it was a bold and insightful choice

IMHO he is killing it

[Laffy Kat]

2. Wish I felt the same way. Sigh.

Maybe I'll never get over JS's departure.

3. I watched...

on Netflix a Trevor Noah stand up special and a documentary on him - both great

i was excited to see him take over the show

But I also miss the great Jon Stewart

4. He's no john oliver.

I really can't figure out why he was chosen.

8. According to his first-night monlogue

... two others turned down the job before him. I guess the network was feeling a little pinched.

5. I watched him for the first time this morning, and thought the same.

"He sure makes Wilmore's show look good."

6. Same here. It doesn't keep me glued to the TV.

"The Nightly Show" has really improved since its first few weeks, so I hope Trevor Noah will too. I'm not ready to give up on him yet.

BTW, I have pretty much given up on Stephen Colbert's show unless he has a special guest. I just prefer Larry Wilmore now.

7. He's no Jon Stewart, but --

he's not supposed to be. I can't imagine how daunting it must be to try to fill those shoes. He's doing better than most would, it will just take a bit of time for him to find his own groove; it will take a bit longer for his audience to stop expecting him to be someone else.

As for me, I'm so pleased that Colbert is on earlier! I used to fall asleep toward the end of the Daily Show, missed way too much of Colbert. He does seem to be enjoying his new niche.
