but even if you now go back and watch some "golden age" bush era daily show it's pretty crap.
*plays a video of george w. bush making a spoonerism* Jon Stewart mugs for the camera.
Real mordant political satire guys.

god, that rally. i had friends drive across the fucking country to attend that thing, because they were so excited. it was beyond mortifying. no one even talked about it afterward, like it was a terrible secret, like a good friend barfing all over themselves while giving a speech or something.

at least it's better than this. he's like a fake conservative guy but it's not convincing so the character sucks and he's like craig kilborn with jokes off twitter? the studio audience or laugh track however it's mixed, loud, guttural, hitting over and over again. i feel upset.

just saw an episode of this for the first time in a long time - it included a bit about trump and elizabeth warren which ended with noah suggesting trump was ‘woke’ for pointing out warren’s contested native american heritage
umm

haven't seen this but I've heard they've been known to tell jokes on that show

yeah no it was some false-equivalency bullshit

from the la times
Donald Trump found an unusual ally Tuesday night as Trevor Noah tackled the problematic Elizabeth Warren behavior that spawned the president’s “Pocahontas” nickname. On Monday, during a ceremony honoring Navajo code talkers, Trump again used his nickname for Warren in derogatory fashion.“This whole beef between Donald Trump and Elizabeth Warren is a tricky one to process because all the other nicknames that he uses on other people are self-explanatory,” Noah explained on “The Daily Show.” He illustrated his point by mentioning “low-energy” Jeb Bush, “little” Marco Rubio and “lyin’” Ted Cruz. Because Warren’s nickname isn’t as readily apparent, Noah dove into the backstory, which included years of the Massachusetts senator misidentifying herself as Native American.“The way Warren tells the story, it’s been part of her family lore for decades, that they have some Native American ancestry,” Noah said, though evidence has never born that family history out. “Is Trump racist?” Noah asked, “Yeah. But in his own … way, he’s hitting Elizabeth Warren for saying she’s Native American when she wasn’t. Something she’s never apologized for or owned up to.”Warren, he pointed out, did something problematic, something conscientious people call each other out on every day. Noah then made the most unnerving pronouncement of all: “As weird as it is to say, in his own racially offensive way, Donald Trump was being woke.”

ah, I see. He was sincere about it. I don't see the problem though.

hey if you don’t see a problem with giving donald trump credit for his understanding of race then i dunno what to tell you

maybe spend a minute thinking about the venue for this most recent display of wokeness
― rob, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:53 (six years ago) link
ok He says "Donald Trump is a racist" but then notes the irony of him engaging in a call-out. Calling him "woke" was a joke. I dunno what to tell you guys.

I never knew the story behind that nickname but if what Trevor says is true ... otm

Her explanation is that her family always told her she was part Native American and she never looked into her genealogy

So new neighbor moved next to us a few months ago. Was walking the dog and chatted with him briefly. Dude wasn't wearing a shirt and is covered in tats. Noticed one tattoo on his abdomen said "Fuck Trevor Noah". Spent the last several days trying to process this.

Like I know from watching my wife and friends go through getting a tattoo that it's a process, right? You have to conceive of the tattoo, sketch it out, make an appointment, wait a while, get it inked, make another appt for more ink, etc. At no point did this guy think "am I making good choices?" or "will my beef with a Comedy Central host subside in time?" So many questions!

You're vastly overestimating how long it takes for a stupid idea to be permanently etched on the human body. The tattoo artist didn't have to invent a font to make that transfer.
