I thought the Daily Social Distancing show was funnier. Not sure what it is about the live audience. I hope they end up with a good host I still like the show overall.

I miss Trevor in his hoodies. All the colors of the rainbow and he looked cute in each and everyone.

At this point if they wanted to bring back a core audience ala Jon Stewart, could they even find that kind of figure?

Any sort of up and coming comedian is a huge risk, any established name will want too much $$$$$, you cast aside the old audience 7 years ago...where do they go from here?

The core strategy of comedy central is completely unknown at this point.

They cut all their original live action content back in 2020 to focus on Adult Animation. The new adult animation shows aren't gaining any traction.

So...the future of Comedy Center is completely unknown. They might not even bother getting a concrete host because they might just get rid of the channel completely...

"Consolidation due to mediocre content" is not what I thought would be the driving factor for the consolidation of this unsustainable number of streaming services.

Comedy Central is going to end up "The Paramount Plus" channel without something soon.

Instead of a rotation, why not have one host and bring back the different segments like they used to have during Stewarts run? I miss when the correspondents would go out into the field and do them. It feels like the only segments we have left are when Keppler goes to Trump rallies and even then those segments are usually tossed online.

Never works. People need familiarity. Honestly can't believe Noah is leaving. Like, to do what?

Its an exhausting show to run. John Oliver keeps it once a week and takes breaks to limit his creative burnout.

Its rare to see "Daily" comedy shows. If they do exists, its even more rare to see it be continuously "fresh" and not become stale with time.

Jon Stewart and his writers did a practically impossible task (And likely why so many of his writers became successful on their own afterwards).

Make movies. Write. Do stand up. Who knows? But anything beats doing a mediocre show that you know you’ve never really made your own.

I gave up on the Trevor Noah Daily Show about a week after he started. Checked it out one more time about a year later and still couldn’t do it. My partner kept up with it somewhat regularly via YouTube for years.

When we found out he was leaving we both had the same reaction - we couldn’t believe he had been doing it for seven years because it always felt like he still hadn’t found his groove. In both our minds he was still “just getting his footing” - but that can be an excuse for a 1-2 years at the very best. Seven, though?

He’s smart to move on before his career is totally tanked.

He's found his groove to me. The Trump years, the pandemic? I thought he killed it

Hey to each their own. Personally, I felt like he just constantly made the most obvious jokes possible and that was made worse by his delivery.

Also, not his fault, but some of the worst correspondents I’d ever seen. If I have to hear that one guy make one more Asian joke…
