Question Trevor Noah & Jon Stewart: What's Up With The Daily Show?

Trevor and Stewart are comedians pretending to be journalists. I have never understood why people pretend that they're anything approaching journalists.

The statistic is (mostly) correct. A study of boys with gender dysphoria concluded that 60-80% naturally desist. But unfortunately, we’re dealing with a new cohort of “trans” where the social transition occurs so young and desistance is negated because these kids have trusted adults “affirming” their identity for years.

Trevor Noah may not believe TWAW, but he’s a coward for not speaking up.

Jon Stewart purposely hired young, woke inexperienced writers for this show. And it shows.

The same thought about Noah’s departure crossed my mind. After watching his Ivy interview, my feelings toward him actually improved, which I was not expecting at all. Because I totally went into it knowing he was going to just be a wokey kiss ass, but he actually asked questions with some edge to them. His tone and body language toward Ivy were also frosty enough that even my oblivious self picked it up.

I think his interview ended up giving way too much exposure to the ideology than the TRAs could ever want. It made thousands of viewers peak, if this comment section means anything: https://youtu.be/-Fb48tivB-0.

So I would not be surprised if he displeased the powers-that-be enough to yank him off the air. TN is, at root, a standup comedian, and he probably gets more inspiration from someone like Chappelle than Stewart.

Wokebro politics tend to alienate non-whites because the pretentiousness of it all only appeals to communities that put high value on looking the part of the righteous. Noah is smart enough to see through this. He probably peaked when he realized jokes that basically write themselves (like Lia Thomas) are completely off-limits to him.

The timing of his departure juxtaposed with Jon Stewart’s insane foray into the “what is a woman?” discourse is very interesting.

Celebrities don't live in the real world. It's impossible to overstate what a strange, abnormal existence they have. A guy like Jon Stewart will not have been affected by the issues of normal life for decades. Trevor Noah has been rich and famous for long enough to be somewhat tainted by that world but he came from a humble enough background, I think, that this may have been a bridge too far. Still, the fact that he agreed to have Rhys McKinnon on his show in the first place showed that he was either bullied into it by producers or that he was trying to be a "good famous liberal" but his mask slipped during the interview when the cognitive dissonance got to be too much.

I have heard conservatives bringing up critiques about left wingers and democrats appearing out of touch and elitist for many years now. Even back during my super dem, Hillary vs Trump, super left, vote all Blue days... I knew even back then they had a valid point.

It's gotten even worse now with gender ideologues and pretending there's zero debate. It honestly makes democrats look insane and anti-science (when they used to be so proud about always "following the science"). The haughtiness and derision towards anyone who even slightly disagrees with gender theory and the current dem direction is just off the charts.

Jon Stewart is SO disappointing in how he's embodying that exact hateful, left wing caricature now. Pretending he's above all discussion and debate and automatically the side of righteousness and must demean and laugh at perceived lessers.

It's really gross and I think pushes the political divide even further apart in this country. It's especially alienating to moderates (the majority..). Shame on him and all democrats who act like that. I'm tired of the divisiveness and hatred.

Woke just isn’t funny. This is pretty much a law of nature. And people do not like being preached at or condescended to or insulted intellectually and that is the only currency woke has.

Plus, average liberal-voting people are probably getting this type of shit rammed down their throats at their workplaces with all the “inclusive” bullshit and do not choose to watch more of the same on their own time.

Trevor wasn't getting good ratings, he probably left because the show is getting cancelled. Samantha Bee had already been cancelled, I think the audience for live late night political shows is near zero for gen z.

This is like asking "Why did Rachel Maddow lie about Russia?" They're paid propagandists for the neo-liberal industrial complex. That's why. It's the totality of what they do professionally.

Thank you for posting this. I've had the same speculative questions running through my mind. Glad it's not just me. IF Trevor Noah left because of "progressive" ideological views I hope he finds the courage to speak up and support the gender critical crowd.

In any case, all of the above has caused me to question why Trevor Noah left the Daily Show. Was it the mundane reasons listed by legacy media? Or, was it because he could no longer host a show allegedly so devoted to the truth, while establishment progressives have been captured by gender identity ideology? Was it because he wanted to seek out the truth about the gender identity wars, but couldn't because of his loyalty to Jon Stewart, the founder of the Daily Show who first hired him? Or, was it because he was forced out by the show's producers when he was evidently beginning to have concerns about the new gender woo woo religion?

What's Up With the Daily Show?

Television is all about ratings/viewership and ad revenues. All those tanked with Noah as host. All of the stock "liberal" late night shows are having trouble, but Noah's ratings were in the toilet.

Noah’s premiere episode as The Daily Show host in September 2015 garnered 3.47 million viewers, directly on par with Jon Stewart’s final episode a month prior.

That year, The Daily Show averaged 1.1 million viewers, lagging somewhat behind broadcast shows like NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (3.78 million), CBS’ The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (3.17 million) and ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2.53 million), according to Variety.

By August of this year [2022], The Daily Show averaged just 383,000 viewers, a 65% drop from its 2015 ratings and a far lower figure than any network late-night programs, according to Nielsen ratings published by The Wrap.

Fox News’ Gutfield!—a conservative show that launched last year [2021]—averaged 2.19 million viewers last month [September], followed by Colbert with 2.16 million (down 31% from 2015), Fallon with 1.34 million (down 64%) and Kimmel—which was on hiatus for part of the month—with 1.14 million (down 54%), according to The Wrap.

In Stewart’s final 2015 season, “The Daily Show” drew 1.309 million total viewers per episode. Over the past 12 months, Noah averaged 372,000 viewers — nearly 1 million fewer, or 72 percent. The show is down 81 percent in ratings in the key demographic of adults 18-49.

and, 2) why doesn't Stewart invite on his show respected, gender critical figures on the left...people such as Kara Dansky, Helen Joyce, Kathleen Stockman, Carole Hooven, or Colin Wright?

Because he's a shill. And he won't go against the party line. Even back in the day, Daily Show was notorious for taking Conservatives completely out of context to make them look clownish and Stewart look smart. He may have done some respectful interviews with figures like Bill O'Reilly. But that was back when liberals still at least pretended to believe in free speech and debate. That's all gone now.

And he'll NEVER bring in GC liberals like Joyce or Dansky because the party line is that anyone who doesn't celebrate the modern trans cult is a Bible-thumping, homophobic, right-wing idiot. Stewart won't upset that narrative by bringing on a liberal woman who isn't a simpering handmaiden. He'd be canceled in an instant if he even thought about it

Maybe Stewart had integrity at some point. But its long gone now

In any case, all of the above has caused me to question why Trevor Noah left the Daily Show. Was it the mundane reasons listed by legacy media? Or, was it because he could no longer host a show allegedly so devoted to the truth

I HIGHLY doubt Noah cares enough about the truth to quit a sweet gig like the Daily Show over it. He doesn't seem that principled. Its far more likely that his lack of talent finally forced Comedy Central to dump him. I would LOVE to be proven wrong and see Noah come out in favor of the GC position. But I don't see it happening (especially if he plans to work in that industry again)
