I also don't think Oliver could take over the daily show, he was on contract with HBO for this week tonight for at least a year or two.

Seriously...couldn't even make it anywhere near halfway through... <br /><br />Trevor Noah sure seems like a likable fellow...but I just don't find him that funny. <br /><br />Granted, Stewart is a hard act to follow. I'm not really sure he *could* be replaced.

She tries to go for a crass angle a lot and it just doesn't work. It seems forced and senseless.<br /><br />Trevor Noah clearly knows very little, if anything, about politics, and was a terrible choice to replace Jon Stewart. They really should've just put Jon Oliver in.

"Infotainment," as you call it, gets away with this sort of thing by using the 'Jon Stewart Defense:' Claim that the content of the show is just comedy to escape facing criticism for the ranting nature of it all. <br /><br />ItCritical Spiritshttps://thethirdformulation.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
