America Loves Trevor Noah and The New Daily Show
Last night through social media America said loud and clear that they love The Daily Show’s new host, Trevor Noah.
Noah kicked off the show with a lot of laughs, confidence, intelligence and a smile that could stop a cement truck, promising to continue waging Jon Stewart’s war on bullshit. Displaying all of Stewart’s qualities and segments but with his own tone and style, Trevor Noah won over America with a nearly flawless performance with commentary on immigration, the Pope, the election, comedy, and plenty of sly winks to the smart crowd, a few to the millennial crowd, sports fans, non sports fans, and a few self deprecating laughs for good measure. And he played to all these groups without alienating anyone.
When Jon Stewart pursued Trevor Noah to be a correspondent on The Daily Show, Noah was pretty busy traveling the world doing comedy, but Stewart did not let up. Stewart has proven once again that his eye for talent is among the best in the business and it looks like our beloved Daily Show will live on, and in strong hands.
Yesterday we posted 5 mistakes we wanted to see Trevor Noah avoid when he took over the Daily Show. He dodged every single one of them like a pro….and he didn’t sing, or dance.
Not all the feedback was positive. The Daily Beast called Noah’s debut crude and clumsy, critical of every element of the show from graphics to topics to Noah’s choice of suit. But most of the media response has been favorable and social media has a huge crush on their new Daily Show host. Last night on Twitter, America tweeted their love in droves- praising his comedy, his point of view, and most of all his smile and his dimples. He’s so bae, y’ll.
Congratulations to Trevor and to the Daily Show, it’s good to see the War on Bullshit will live on. Scroll down to see a small sampling of the response from Twitter last night which was 99.999% positive.

.@Trevornoah killing it on his first @TheDailyShow: Playful delivery, jumping right in on politics, the Pope and giving Jon Stewart his due.
