hard without Jon. Don't have cable so can't live watch anymore.

I will say Trevor Noah is nicely settled in now and doing a helluva job IMHO. He's funny and personable, seems comfortable with his position.

He's no Craig Kilborn though! JK, showing my age!

I'm impressed at how well he "gets" American politics and not only is he personable, he's also very funny. I happened to catch a stand up special and he's really multi talented, is great at impressions and voices.

And I say that as someone who had the privilege of seeing The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in person - I was in the studio audience back in 2008! And Jon isn't just clever and smart, he's also a nice guy. The audience got a chance to ask questions before the show and one lady asked about his notes - so he made a point of giving them to her after the show.
