  • As someone with no special insight into the internal workings, and who didnt watch trevor noah’s DS too much, or know much about noah himself, i’ve honestly been pretty convinced that the problems with TN DS doesn’t really have anything to do with trevor specifically, but i’m reasonably sure that comedy central took jon stewart leaving as an opportunity to “tame” the writing on the show.

    I feel like comedy central wanted to pull the show back from leaning too far left to appeal to a wider audience.

    What i mean by that, is where jon stewart might tear into a political figure for the way they stand on some particular issue he disagrees with, trevor’s daily show would like…make fun of their hair/clothes, or some other “safe” joke that doesn’t get too political.

    And noah, unfairly, probably takes all the blame for this, even though i’m quite sure this is on the studio heads and was outside his control.
