I liked his standup and was open to seeing how he'd do, but it's just a terrible show. Ronny Chieng is the only funny correspondent, Kosta is okay. The rest of literally diversity hires but inclusion for inclusion's sake is 'woke". There's some new correspondent whose name is obvious cultural appropriation of Kabuki theatre.. it's like Jabookie or Dabookie but of course he's transqueergayinterbisexual
That's probably the thing about it that was off-putting to me, this whole "condescending foreigner trying to talk to me about why America is bad" genre (John Oliver too, etc.) is grating
Thanks for the insight though. I've never seen his standup
I don't mind John Oliver because it's humor-informative and I always learn something. In general, he doesn't really pour on AMERICANS STUPID, AMERICA BAD, he's a "speak truth to those in power" and though he lays into Trump, not just him: Pharma execs, judges, etc.
Noah/TDS is "speak truth to privilege" so literally everything that every white man does is evil, anything a non-white, non-male does should be extolled and lauded and talked up despite its relatively lack of impact. And he impersonates Americans, which can be funny to non-American crowds but every episode his studio audience is like "ehh.. that's pretty irritating".
I like how he's given credit as though his (((handlers))) had no part in building him up and giving him the easiest gig of his life. All he has to do is show up, read the script with a moderately humorous tone, and remind people that he's black and he's set for eternity.

Why does it say arena packing?

That spelled ‘fudge’ wrong.

There are no men in comedy. Just titless women and dickless faggots

Does anybody even like Trevor Noah? The Daily Show just fell completely off the face of the planet it seems, after Jon Stewart left.

Be careful brotherman. That reaks of too much sensible type thought for many of these right wing redneck faggots.

Yeah someone just told me to 'rethink my life' because I made fun of Troyquan, one of the most risible members of the OAverse.

This is a white man.
Let's be serious.
Just like Key & Peele, who are also white men.

He is objectively hacky. All of his material is "In America, it's like this, but in South Africa its like THIS!"
