The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

Also he probably won't be writing the little jokes he says after they roll a montage of Fox News clips.

half the time they just resort to Jon starring horrified/confused speechless in those cases right now anyway.

network releases offish statement, about what you'd expect

I told you guys that Craig Kilborn went to my high school, right

to be provocative is brave
to react to provocative is unfair

I've used it myself sometimes but "it's unfair to be provoked by this person doing provocative things" is one of the weakest arguments

I have to admit I don't really understand the Jewish girls/blowjobs tweet. Is that really the stereotype? Maybe the Truly Tasteless Joke Book Noah learned all he knows about Jewish people from had some incorrect information.

lol

there are some old jap stereotypes/jokes about frigidity

idk about blowjobs tho. maybe he had a jewish girlfriend who wouldn't go down on him and he extrapolated?

The only time a JAP will go down is on the escalator at Bloomingdale's

= cab driver joke

There was a Rachel Shukert piece about the subject in Heeb but its not online afaik--I thought the stereotype was the opposite

everyone who's anyone gets a network to stick up for them these days

like most bigotries about jews the stereotype probably works both ways. antisemites generally aren't bright enough to worry about paradoxes.

Yeah, my parents had the "Official Jewish Joke Book" and "Official Irish Joke Book" when I was younger and I remember "How do you cure a Jewish nymphomaniac? Marry her."

Those jokes are weak but I'm guessing they are the weakest jokes in a twitter feed designed for testing out material.

Larry Wilde for new Daily Show host xp

xxxpost yeah his other stuff is pretty strong:

Trevor Noah @Trevornoah · Mar 17

Because your name is Neal! RT @nealbrennan: A Starbucks barista just called me the N-word. Why Starbucks why?

I'm coming around to the nihilism of casting a boorish jerk as the host of the daily show

if he got hired off those jokes they could at least have gone with a name, like Jerry Lewis or Rickles

he's young - jon stewart was grey - people don't like listening to advice and opinion so much from a guy that looks as young or younger than they are, especially about america, from a person who is not american

If a republican is elected they would. During the Bush years there was tons of self-loathing wrt American identity on the left. People blamed imperialism on "stupid voters" in "middle america" iirc

The daily show has always been complicit in this sort of misapprehension, or perceiving structural inequality, corruption, and militarism as issues that are more cultural than political. As grotesque as fox news is, they are not the root of any of the issues we face

hope this is all an elaborate stunt to give the anchor chair to kristen schaal. trevor ryan is the ted cruz to her carly fiorina? because this kid couldn't walk into 'crossfire' and get it cancelled like jon stuart leibowitz could, i don't think

Also they became a stupidly easy target. It makes sense that Stewart got bored, even though he has had no shortage of praise for the past decade

stewart walking reminds me of how we heard zip from matt taibbi and alex perrine during the last midterms. go gop

As grotesque as fox news is, they are not the root of any of the issues we face

No one's said they are though

I associate stewart with a self congratulatory "smh" style of progressivism that feels pretty pointless to me

Stewart also refuses to tear into his guests like he really should if he kept it so so real

but then he would have no guests.

"I associate stewart with a self congratulatory "smh" style of progressivism that feels pretty pointless to me", he said, self-congratulatorily

u guys are watching the show all wrong

If the people behind the scenes are mostly the same, all Noah has to do is give long deadpan looks to the camera after the (useful) montages of Republican journalists/politicians repeating the same talking points.

someone should start a news/comedy combination channel that's just conservative news with a little box in the corner featuring a left-leaning comedian staring forward, deadpan, 24 hours a day

It's too bad Portlandia is such a hit, because there's an obvious perfect choice for Daily Show host:

Sorry; image of "Nicholas Fehn, Political Comedian" from SNL failed to embed properly...

well, that character is based on Marc Maron, so I doubt Stewart would have gone for it

stewart was into jewish blowjob jokes too! http://www.mediaite.com/tv/stewart-bibis-congress-reception-was-longest-blowjob-a-jewish-man-has-ever-received/

these jokes are fucking terrible, but they're also pretty old. they don't fill me with hope for his tenure as host on the other hand, the host isn't the writer.

the one thing team lib has on the koch borg is humor. why concede that, com.cen?

once aristophanes retired it was all over. see you in 3615

"my mother is half jewish" is such a weird defense, it's like half-Jewishness is only ever referenced in the context of having to apologise for making a dumb joke

i'm dying to know which half

he didn't literally mean she had a jewish parent, he meant she performed 50% of the oral sex acts his father would have preferred

which half do you hope Mordy

As grotesque as fox news is, they are not the root of any of the issues we face

― primal, intuitive, and relatively unmediated (Treeship),

Actually, they are. Manufactured Consent. Chomsky. Get into it ya'll.

one of the roots, for sure. pretty sure there's going to be more than one root.

treeships have no roots
