I just watched Trevor Noah of the Daily Show in a 7 minute excerpt in which he discussed President Trump calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" and also the sexual harassment claims against Democrats Al Franken and John Conyers and Republican senate candidate Roy Moore. Noah took over from John Stewart a few years ago. Wow, is he not funny.
To be fair, this is just one excerpt and maybe it was a bad example of Noah's humor. Nevertheless, the piece was trumpeted as a really great one for the Daily Show. If so, I understand why Noah's ratings are so low.
Maybe they should change the name to the Monthly Show and give Noah a bit more time to come up with material. It might help, but even if it doesn't, we won't have to deal with this non-funny stuff as often.
