I don’t know. Jon Stewart was and is something special and ever since he announced his retirement from Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, I knew his replacement would have some big shoes to fill. And now that his replacement is announced, I took it upon myself to YouTube him and I must say, I am somewhat surprised.
Maybe Trevor Noah will be able to keep The Daily Show going.
In an interview with the Times, Comedy Central President Michele Ganeless said that after an extensive search, the network decided Noah was “the best person for the job.”
“You don’t hope to find the next Jon Stewart – there is no next Jon Stewart. So, our goal was to find someone who brings something really exciting and new and different,” she said.

JS will be hard to replace, we all know that. I say give Trvor a chance and see what happens. If I had been making the choice, I might have gone after John Fugelsang because he is more well known. Regardless, the choice is made and I wish Trevor the very best of luck.
