The Daily Show‘s host Trevor Noah is quitting after just seven short years after a humiliating failure. He lost 75 percent of his audience, with an average viewership of just 363,000 last week. Noah was former host Jon Stewart’s hand-selected replacement after Stewart jumped ship from the show.
John Nolte of Breitbart writes:
Trevor Noah’s problem was that he has almost no charisma, he isn’t very funny, and his left-wing humor — which is really propaganda with a laugh track — is predictable and therefore dull. Humor emanates from a grain of truth mixed with surprise. Noah surprised no one. At least Jon Stewart had energy and could mug and make faces that emitted funny voices. Noah always looked like he was ready for bed.
“I’ve loved hosting the show. It’s been one of my greatest challenges,” Noah announced into the void that is his audience Thursday. “It’s been one of my greatest joys. I’ve loved trying to make people laugh, even when the stories are particularly [expletive] on the worst days. We’ve laughed together. We’ve cried together. But, after seven years, I feel like it’s time.”
And the world turned to one another and asked, “Who is this?”
Noah blew a magnificent opportunity. Imagine his career trajectory had he shown the moral courage to go after Joe Biden with the same zeal he used against Donald Trump. Not only would he have stood out from the dozen other left-wing late-night losers, but he would have also gained an entirely new audience.
Sounds like just desserts to me.
If you are selected as a host of a comedy show,first you should be funny. He’s not. Second it was a racial quota. Third you have to be a leftie. Most people will give a pass to the latter 2. But if you are not funny it’s just a matter of time before you are out. No wonder Johnny Carson and Jay Leno lasted that long. They were (and Leno still is )funny.
In my estimation losing Trevor Noah is no loss at all! 👋
A good beginning. Late Night T.V. Talk Shows final nail in the coffin was when Jay Leno hung it up. There are no real late night talkers now, only Libertard Moonbats ranting about the evil Conservatives and Patriots. Reruns of old Warner Cartoons get higher ratings than all the late night talkers combined.
Never watched Stewart after watching a couple times, just another J. Stewart as I see it. Good he’s gone. More room for other A. Holes like Stewart!
Send him back to South Africa! The “new” government there has totally screwed the country so he’ll fit right in. That’s the result of voting for Communists!
