In the seemingly endless attack on comedians regarding non-politically correct things that they have said, it appears that the next to be under attack is Trevor Noah. Noah is the guy who replaced John Stuart on the Daily Show some years ago. He has nowhere near the success with the show that Stuart had, however. In the last two weeks, Noah was attacked for a racial remark he made about the French team that won the World Cup. That seemed to blow over, but now video has emerged of an entire routine that Noah did about Aboriginal women in Australia and how ugly they are. It's a rather disgusting routine, but it's just from a few years ago. One has to wonder if Viacom (which owns Comedy Central) will use the Roseanne penalty and fire Noah. To be fair, Viacom ought to dump Noah. Either there is no tolerance for racial humor, or there is. It can't be a halfway issue.
