is anyone even remotely interested in the daily show with new guy from south africa

its like after the cast of snl when you were about 15 left and was replaced by a bunch of unfunny scmucks with contrived characters. in all honesty it's probably the same thing it always was, but it's just hard to give a poo poo about it.

he is probably not much funnier but he is definitely more important in terms of educating america through the glowing screens people refuse to look away from or are now unable to

and yeah seth meyers is another snl guy with a fake laugh and overly friendly and cool to everyone but with even less good guests lmao

least he doesnt have 80 shows worth of games about hitting the egg or the super soaker or the other kids game he forces his guest to do

If it's still running in a year and not total poo poo I'll check it out. Even if this guy turned out to be gold (and I doubt it), it'll take him that long to find his footing anyway.

If I'm reading this, I just want me to know those stupid outbursts are no longer funny, way too predictable, way way too long, and make me uncomfortable. Also, I don't understand many of the references anyway. Sorry I don't watch Game of Thrones.

they really gave the new guy a very softball show opening. The Pope and John Boehner, low hanging fruit. I don't know what that is supposed to mean. plus an interview with Kevin Hart where he managed to talk over him the entire time.

plus I thought it was really sweet that Hart brought him ties and Trevor didn't loving care. wtf?
