They just found a random black comic. He didn't even do political humor before the daily show. His hiring was profoundly retarded.

They had a huge boner that he had an accent and was actually from Africa, thats all it was.

Bullseye. This is exactly the reason. Identity politics. It's happening throughout all media. What? NEVER HOSTED A SHOW ABOUT ANYTHING?!!! Ha ha haaaa...no worries!! We'll teach you how to be smart/funny/charming/interesting/knowledgable/opinionated/empathetic/brash. What could go wrong???

Diversity also means a range of shit.

Prior to all this he seemed to be just another middling comedian telling race jokes that would otherwise offend the same groups. Maybe America changed him or maybe it has to do with the shitty writers running the show and he's some babbling puppet. That was probably the catch: pick a shitty comedian who would just go along with it.

But hes from South africa, to retard liberals that means he has a phd in oppression

His parents had to walk on opposite sides of the street growing up so they weren't lynched. What could he possibly know about something like oppression?

You actually believe that overblown shit? There weren't lynch mobs laying in wait to see if a white man and a black woman stood beside each other.

Chris Rock said give me a contract that ends a day after the election. And they turned it down for this foreigner Z lister who can't even draw a million people. Stunning.

because Chris Rock would do that much better?

it would be the same jokes about republicans and sanders and clinton loving that we already have.

admittedly the interviews would have been amazing. but they are still fucked once the election is over

It would be better to have Chris Rock, yeah.

You think the arguably best stand up in the world would be funnier Noah?

Chris Rock sucks. It would be nothing but jokes about how white people are evil.

He's a less annoying Paul mooney with the most annoying voice ever

but they are

Chris has a team of good whiters at least

Freudian slip?

It's pronounced "crackers"

Woman ceo. No wonder the network went to shit in the name of pc. Gashes are retarded

DA FAWKIN GAYYSHHH she needed DA MONEY!

but...but...it's progressive!

Diversity hires are hired for being diversity not competence, thanks liberals.

As much as I hate her, I always thought they were going to go Jessica Williams because she was there and even though she's not that funny she still gets it AT TIMES. awaiting the racial video

Jessica Williams is the worst of them all

But he's a cutie pie!

Of course it's awful. Look at the perfectly calculated collection of minorities and genders that comprise the show's group of correspondents. Maybe if they actually pursued only the best up-and-coming NYC comedians and writers their show wouldn't be so dull.

Black women and Asian men, two of the least funny types of people on the planet.

You don't speak ill of Bobby Lee

Bobby Lee is the exception in that he has clearly adopted white buffoonery and been cast out of Asian culture.

Least sexually desired too.

So you ever noticed when two black guy come into your convenience store and one go one way and one go the other way. What they doing, what they stealing?

Dat Phan is hilarious

Even the white guy (Jordan Klabber or whatever) looks like he came from central casting. He's like a summer home on Nantucket Island come to life. The only whiter, more punchable guy in show business is Seth Myers' brother. Maybe Colin Jost.

It's like they parodied satire and arrived back at bland bullshit.

Yuck. Fuck "NYC" comedians. I don't have an alternative but that phrase is awful. Who thinks of comedians in regional terms?

I just think of it in those terms because O&A was based in NYC and that's generally where their guests came from. Believe me, I wasn't trying to create my own little genre like "The New York Scene" or anything like that

I hear you. If I think of NYC comedians, I think of DiPaolo. Which is okay as long as he isn't talking about politics. I don't think of Bob Kelly, Louis or Norton as New York guys. The only ones that are regional to me is the blue collar fags (except Ron White).

They looks like a group of crime solving kids in one of those awful children's shows designed to teach you about diversity. They just need a fat broad in a wheelchair who stays in the van and gives them coordinates.

Ugh. The daily show and Colbert report replacements were just made to jump on the black lives matters movement and win over millennials.

No one watches comedy because it has a lot of ethnic people. They watch it because it's funny and clever. Talking about the black community for an hour a day isn't funny.

Do you remember Colbert talking about being Catholic? Or Stewart spending an hour talking about how great Israel is? No? I don't either.

Stewarts show had plenty of women and minority writers and correspondents.

“Comedic timing should feel as natural as slipping down a slide,” I criticized. “Right now his jokes are plopping down the stairs like a piece of pizza being dragged by a rat.”

YUCK. This cunt author isn't much more witty. She needed to showcase this gem?

The kids love those "epic funneh" references to internet videos xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

That's a similie, sir.

A simile is a type of metaphor you cunt. And you can't spell.

God damn it you didn't fuck up at all so I can't be cunty back to you. You win.

[deleted]

'piece of pizza'

Me: Its not called pizza. It's called zah.

tsss fawkin rats man

I hate everyone who branches off from the Daily Show and turn into their own agenda-driven pieces of fuck. Samantha Bee is the worst. Larry Wilmore eats dick. It goes on and on. Fuck you. And people act like it's smart and compelling television and it isn't. It's perfect-thing-to-say unedgy trash that is for the mindless college students of this country who can't ever consider another point and things can't be funny unless they are parallel to their phony ideology

The samantha bee one is the worst, they take things they know are said as jokes and pretend they are stupid statements from the republicans. The hypocrisy she should be pointing out is how a comedy show can't see humour if it doesnt fit the narrative.

I hate her. And literally EVERYONE sings her praises. It's fucking embarrassing

She's an aged woman with a fucked up face complaining about men, of course they'd lap that shit up.

i wouldn't fuck her either...

I'd love to see somebody like Gavin go on her show.

They would just edit his jokes again to make him look dumb

He was on the daily show a couple of weeks ago and that's exactly what they did.

Larry Wilmore has played the same character for years. He was the guy on Diversity Day of the US office. Probably the best thing he's ever done

I don't care about his characters. He stinks. I'm glad comics are trashing him

The point is there are no characters. He plays/is the offended black guy in everything

I know. I'm just angry

Who's trashing him? Would love to check it out

They spent a chunk of YKWD criticizing him

What about John Oliver, Stephen Colbert, and Steve Carell?

John Oliver

He is the most annoying cunt I have ever seen. An unfunny, SJW faggot.

I like the topics he picks for his shows but he's so unfunny that there's no reason for him to joke around.

I hate everything about him. He doesn't have 1 redeemable feature. Except that one day he will die.

NO KAREN THE COOKIES ARE FOR ALL OF US!

Audience: HAHAHAHAHAHA

SUSAN, SHARE YOUR TOYS WITH YOUR SISTER BEFORE I RAPE YOUR MOUTH. DON'T LAUGH AT THIS AUDIENCE I'M SERIOUS

Audience: HAHAHAHAHAHA

John Oliver is the only one out of the cabal who calls bullshit on both sides of the fence.

Id hate fuck the shit out of Samantha Bee. She looks like she could take a punch or an elbow to the throat.

Unedgy? Dude they criticize FOX NEWS. And Donald Trump. Sometimes they even take a gamble with their audience and go after Palin. I'm surprised they haven't been yanked from the airwaves!

Oliver carries the water for broader looks into intense subjects that people have no idea exist. Bee has taken on the role of mocking Republican hypocrisy. Wilmore created a niche for himself calling out racism while also shouldering the load of holding Fox News accountable. What’s left? The “Daily Show” is what’s left over.

Yeesh

Of course in most industries niche appeal is tantamount to limited appeal, meaning Wilmore is a failure as much as the Daily Show is, as it replaced an arguably better than TDS Colbert Report with something that only appeals to self-hating NYU sophomores and black people who use twitter to feed their narcissism.

Obviously this is getting handwaved in the article to keep focused on the Daily Show, but the failure of CC's shipsteering with these shows along with Big Amy belies the fact that these target demos aren't actually being targeted - you could have every black person in America watching Larry Wilmore and it'd still be 12% of a potential audience. Sure, not everything needs wide appeal, but these people are the ones who made their bed with their narrow focus, now they sleep in it.

Shouldering the load of holding Fox News accountable? Holy shit. I was one of those assholes crying about Faux Noise Maaaan like ten years ago with all the other dummies in my age group. It's 2016 and these cunts still think they're being edgy and hip by shitting on Fox News? No wonder their late night programming is in the fucking toilet.

Say what you want about Jon and Colbert's obvious liberal bias, at least they were funny. In my opinion Colbert much more so then Jon.

That's the same reason why so many people like Gavin Mcinnes. They don't agree with most of his views but at least he is funny. That's all I care about with these comedy shows is if they are funny. It can be far left or far right. I will watch both if they are organically funny.

Honestly Gavin would have a much funnier & edgier show if he were given that template. And no it's not about politics but the Daily Show with Stewart really came to prominence under Bush where there was a lot to satire with the war, Ashcroft, homeland security, etc etc.

That time is gone. It does seem like Gavin's bit of trolling idealistic millennials is a more relevant sort of satire. Anyway I don't even care about the Daily Show and the picture somebody linked to of 'the staff' is awful. The black lady? I bet she's sassy. The other black guy? I bet he has a cranky take on white people and their silliness. The asian guy? I bet he has a small dick.

At least Colbert never tried to be something he wasn't like Jon did towards the end of his run.

Except for the fact that his entire show was done in character.

The thing about stweart and colbert is they were acually funny, they cared about american poltics, and they were proably strong enoue to fight whatever producer viacom sent them to try and make things shit. Noah isnt funny at all, like at all, he is a foreigner who doesn't care about american politics, not only that this has been the craziest fucking election cycle in years, Donald fucking trump slaying the media, the GOP, el chapo, the pope, anyone that came in his way, bernie "the jew" sanders destroying the democratic party with full communism™, god stweart would be having a field day. Noah is just a mouth piece for the corporate neo liberal establishment and the libtards know this, its why they switched to john oliver

whats wrong with having liberal bias though? anyone with half a brain knows that. theres plenty of right leaning shows out too to watch.

But not any shows similiar to the daily show..

And most liberals now are like whiny children waiting to be offended.

Then why dont any networks make one ????

Because people wont watch it. Thats their and your fault so be quiet

Ok tough guy.

Nobody wants to hear a foreigner talk shit about our country. Especially when his native country of South Africa is not even half as good a country as the United States.

Aww are you too precious to handle a bit of criticism?

Maybe you should go to tumblr and create a safe space for yourself.

It's not about taking or not being able to take criticism but someone that is not from the culture won't fully understand it. And you're really edgy and original by the way.

Fake and gay

Ladies and gentlemen, Samantha Bee

There's no way they'd bring stewart back with the way he left. John Oliver's daily show wouldve been huge and stewart waited until he was signed before quitting.

He was smart to leave when he did, just before the liberals started eating each other alive.

Jon being on the inside (I WAS ON THE INSIDE) he had to have seen the sinking ship before anyone else did.

IT'S A CONSPIRACY. I WAS A NAVY SEAL

Youre racist if you dont like it

why would they hold Fox News accountable, they're just a comedy show? (or at least that's what they cry every time they get called on their own bullshit)

Ive watched the show, ive seen no evidence of comedy.

Trevor Noah = Low energy

Sad!

The Daily Show isn't even drawing a million viewers total on a typical show. It's inconceivable that with an election year that has outsized, even cartoonish personalities that have been such great comedy fodder for the internet like the bumbling Jeb Bush, the Canadian Cuban Texan rat Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton getting investigated by the fucking FBI, DUDE WEED the Candidate:Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump should be doing this shitty in the ratings.

It has no buzz, nobody shares the clips, nothing. It's culturally irrelevant when it should never be more popular.

Yeah now that I think about thats crazy it doesnt generate a single viral clip. A comedy news show catered toward 18-25 year olds with a liberal bias should be going massively viral on a weekly basis and I dont think its had a single viral clip since Noah came on. From what Ive seen its just RIDICULOUS how obviously agenda driven its gotten. Its like comedy took a back seat to progressive social issues. And even to people tha agree with it, its just not funny enough to be worth staying up for.

You couldn't think of a silly title for Trump? Not enough fodder there?

Hey, I am just a regular Joe. The guys what make the big bucks can come up with a funny title for him, okay?

Even the casting director for Clambusters thinks Noah was a shitty hire.

Basketball-Americans in black-rimmed glasses posturing about how smart they are. How could it not be hilarious?

Basketball-Americans. How have I not heard that before? Thats beautiful.

I smell a cancellation soon!

Fuck Comedy Central and their pandering PC bullshit.

Trevor Noah hosting the Daily Show is the epitome of white guilt and ineptitude in the media.

The show had its highest ratings ever when a white, smarmy Jewish guy was hosting. They promptly replaced him with an unknown black guy to "get the millennial viewer." It was clear pandering and the viewership noticed that.

Good for the Daily Show and Comedy Central. I hope the show is canceled.

I didn't agree with a lot of what Jon Stewart said and the Daily Show became horrendous in the last few years of his run, but he at least had the ability to be occasionally funny and is talented. Trevor Noah isn't even good at stand-up. The dude is a talentless hack who only got the gig because Comedy Central decided it wanted to rebrand itself as some sort of progressive network. I'm glad his show is failing because that's exactly what him and the network deserve.

Let's see, we have a show aimed at jerking off white liberals and making fun of politics and the future of our country. Who to host? Who to host? GOT IT! A MIXED SOUTH AFRICAN WHO MAKES LOOK AT MY FAMILY JOKES! HOW CAN THIS NOT FAIL?

And it'll still be on for another two years before they either cancel it or pay Jon Stewart a shit load I money to come back (at this point they can't get another host cause it'll look bad for Comedy Central)

Stewart's gone, you won't see him no more.

actually i read a while back HBO snatched up Stewart to do some special stuff for them, HBO is way superior to comedy central when you think about it, no commercials, no sponsors, little censorship. Jon oliver made the right fucking choice.

I never really cared for the satire parts of the Daily Show, I liked when they actually had real discussions(even though were rare). All these shows try too hard with no real substance or true convictions.

When Comedy Central's hiring criteria becomes based on someones race or gender rather than how funny they are, this isnt surprising at all.

[deleted]

I don't know anyone who likes this show.

DUDE REPUBLICANS LMAO shows have always been shit.

The Daily Show has sucked since circa 2003. I know that because I am an aging hipster douche.

Now that we're on the topic of yourself...When did you start sucking?

I'll start anytime you want, buster. Pull your pants down for me you baby ho.

At least it's not as dreadfully unwatchable as Larry Whitmore.

Daily Show went to shit as soon as Obama got in office. Fucking democrat shills lost all their bite when it was their party fucking things up.

Comedy Central didn’t just swap out Darrin, they switched “Bewitched” to “I Dream of Jeannie” and hoped we’d see it’s all the same.

The writer of this article sure knows how to relate to her audience.

... Anthony Cumia?

I wish they'd just rename the network. None of the shows take chances. They just preach to those who are already converted and it's just ball washing.

Sheesh, they've already renamed it to Compound Media. What more do you want?!
