hobbesmaster posted:Stewart was "bad" for years until the daily show got good. Noah is doing ok so far. Stewart had to trailblaze the formula to his show, Noah has an example he could follow and does it poorly. Quite frankly, the person who "gets" the Daily Show and how to do has to be both a funny comedian and someone, (like how Stewart/Colbert understood the media bullshit of the 00's), understands things like the reason for Trump's rise. I'd don't think Noah understands what NAFTA did to this country because he is a rich immgrant to this country. So him pounding on President Clinton/Trump week in and week out for making more lovely trade deals that destroyed America isn't going to happen.

That guy is a ridiculous goober for sure but the real humor here is his appearance getting mocked by a guy who looks like the alien cockroach from Men In Black crawled inside a pierogi.

BGrifter posted:Yeah I have no problem with Trevor Noah as a comedian, TDS sucks now though. It's probably more to do with members of the writing team that left when Stewart did than the change of hosts. I'm sure they'll get it back on track eventually. During the last couple years, Stewart wasn't good either to be frank. Times had changed and everyone could do Stewarts routine, everyone knew the GOP was a walking joke and weren't afraid to call them out on it. Too much so in fact.

Rocks posted:this is a good soundbite for Trump to take and drive Cruz into the ground. "how dare you loving bring my wife into this campaign, tell women what they should do or shouldn't do, you should apologize, etc. etc." Trump (who has been in playboy himself) could be the feminist candidate by saying "my wife has a right to do whatever she wants with her body". And then pro-life Trump supporter's heads would explode. Meanwhile Cruz, the Christian candidate threw an actresses from one of his commercials under the bus because she appeared in a few soft core porn films.

gay picnic defence posted:Wouldn't it have been smarter to cosy up to Trump and gradually fill various influential positions within his staff with GOPe types to advise him. That way you'd have the populist/nationalist/whatever talking points that are winning votes but still maintain the GOPe agenda. Depends on your view: if you're a GOP strategist convinced Trump will fully cement your party as the racist party in the eyes of young and non-white voters, this is a terrible strategy long term because fighting Trump, however ineffectually, still gives them an out to say "look, he may have been from our party but we didn't want him!" Honestly I don't think anyone's looking that long term and would consider the short term damages of a party sandbagging its own nominee would be devastating enough that it wouldn't be worth it, but there is a mindset that would say pointlessly fighting Trump, even if he wins, is smarter long run.

BGrifter posted:I wonder if the transition of The Daily Show and Colbert's absence/toned down new show created a window where Trump was able to sneak through and not be the punchline candidate everyone assumed he'd be when he started running? In the beginning everyone assumed he'd be late night comedian fodder for a while then drop out/may not even file his paperwork. Is the weakness of late night comedy to blame for the rise of Trump? Is late night comedy weak because Trump is so successful? It's an interesting question, in the face of Jimmy Fallon and the like treating him like any other celebrity. My instinct is that late night comedy has never been as influential as we thought it was, not since the era of Dan Quayle and "potatoe". Even that was four years into his VP stint, which means even in the height of the industry's sway and reach, it takes years to successfully build a narrative that is in anyway effective. So Trump's faults being used as an effective cudgel by late night TV will only hold by the end of his first hypothetical Presidency by the most optimistic estimation, and that is only if the narrative is one antithetical to his electoral chances. Since his narrative right now is a crazed bull charging forward, something very much viewed as a positive by a good percentage of the population, that makes it even less than useful as a weapon. Now if there is enough momentum built about him being doddering and not right in the head, that might make more traction. But that will come from Trump, not from anything you will see from the late night circuit.

Donald Trump is treated with kid gloves by late night comedians because he's been going on late night comedy since the late 1970s and has consistently been a great interview for 35 years. He's one of the pillars of the New York scene they live in and has been one of the central figures of that community since before most of the people in this thread were born. Sometimes it feels like people forget that Donald Trump is...Donald Trump. He can pal around with Fallon and Colbert just like he palled around with Leno and Letterman and just like he will pal around with whomever eventually replaces them 15 years down the road: late night comedy is his scene. He's been going on Saturday Night Live for decades, why stop now? Donald Trump is not a new or unknown quantity in that world. He's a great interview, he's provocative and entertaining, occasionally outrageous and controversial, and he'll be hosting the rocking, wild, and oh-so-classy aftershow party where he'll tell you that your Donald Trump hairpiece for the bit was excellent, marvelous, etc. It's really strange to me that people feel that Trump would get killed on late night. Possibly excepting Oliver and Noah, who are new to the U.S., the other late night comedians have been living in Trump's orbit for decades.
