It's still a show primarily designed for 12 year-olds, so he fits the niche nicely.

Generally positive from what I've seen. I think he's doing really good for someone so new. Not a great interviewer yet but I usually shut these shows off before them anyway.

I assume he's doing as good a job of reading jokes other people wrote as the last guy did since people aren't calling for his head.

I am having trouble defining the genre. It's like it goes right up to the edge of parody, but doesn't quite take that last leap.

I haven't watched more then the first two episodes but given its running at least 20 minutes over a show I don't think I need too.

I think it's as good as those two. The entire church arc is bonkers and so so so well executed. The kid actors are also incredible. Whoever is in charge of casting for Showtime's original stuff REALLY knows what to look for in young actors. Between Ray Donovan and Shameless everybody involved is on an entirely different level than child actors on any other network/show.

He’s doing a great job in general. His comedic timing is really bad, and he doesn’t know when to move on from a joke to the next one, but he has plenty of time to learn. And his constant smiling and enthusiasm is contagious.

Either his writers are much better, or his fellow reporters just like the new energy around the office a lot more, because they’re knocking it out of the park.

The old Daily Show stopped being funny a while ago, and the new show is much better than the note the old one ended on.

That's not so bad considering Jon Stewart was the worst interviewer on TV.

I loved that Ta-Nehisi looked like someone who’d just been called the n-word, when Trevor Noah said he hadn’t pegged him for a comicbook guy.

There is no bigger insult to that guy than to his comicbook sensibilities.

A couple weeks ago in lieu of a music guest one night he had No Man's Sky's developer on to do a demo of the game. It was kind of neat to see him tinker with the late night format like that.

He also had PewDiePie as a guest one night but let's just forget that happened.

The pewdz is super popular though, so that's not terribly surprising.

Definitely did not like that movie.
