You young whippersnapper! Back in MY day, the Daily Show was hosted by Craig Kilborn (who went on to host a late night show) and we didn't think John Stewart would be able to carry on the legacy.

Some things never change.

Main difference is that Jon Stewart was more known and a true comedian for way longer than Trevor Noah.  It appears that Trevor Noah didn't try to dedicate himself to comedy till about 2009.  Jon Stewart struggled as a stand up during the 80s and finally landed his own show in the early 90s.  Fact is Trevor Noah isn't as good of a comedian as Jon Stewart.  Hell, even John Oliver is 100 times better of a comedian than Trevor Noah.

I have a slight negative biased towards black comedians (even though Trevor is mixed race).  Honestly, Dave Chappelle is the only black comedian that I really enjoy.  Larry Fillmore was decent when he was on The Daily Show doing small bits but his show just plain sucks.  I gave his show a chance but it seemed like he focused too much on black lives matters movement when he first started his show (that was the main headline news at the time though).  Was that movement important?  Yes, but as a white person I don't feel a need to hear about it everyday.  You might not have a good view of me anymore after stating this but I'm just being honest.

Don't worry. After convincing me to buy The Letter for WiiU, my opinion of you will never be good.  But you're still the same Seth we've always loved. Nothing's gonna change that.
