So, Trevor Noah got himself into trouble by referring to French footballers "African" instead of French. Here is him responding and calling out the French ambassador's hypocrisy:

I stopped watching the Daily Show when Jon Stewart left. I did try to watch Noah a few times but just found him to be more mean spirited and less funny than Stewart. Stewart had his political battles but didn't forget to add the funny. Samantha Bee took it even further to aggressive and unfunny. Colbert was great on the Colbert Report with his mock character, but isn't so great now that he's on the bigger show. I miss Stewart. I enjoy his occasional appearances on Colbert's new show.

Jolly,I thought Canadians had a great sense of humor.
I went and watched Noah's most recent episode. He has improved a lot. I got a couple of laughs this time. As to Canadians and humor, some do. I am not a fan of whiny Seth Meyers (he is Canadian) but Michael Meyers (Canadian) used to crack me up.
Oliver can be great, though he sometimes doesn't do his research well. I definitely get laughs out of him.
Trevor was right to say what he did. I've come to like him better than Stewart. Jon was good, but after he left, it was obvious to me that it was the show and its writers that brought out the best in Stewart. I've seen Jon several times since he left. He was kind of pitiful. Trevor's standup is better than Jon's imo. But again, the show is more than its host. The host doesn't write all of the skits and jokes. Let's not forget that. I would agree that Cobert is the best late night host, but there are a few others that I also like to watch.
It's also sad that some of the French didn't get the message behind the Trevor's humor. Being able to laugh at yourself is a admirable quality, imo.
A helluva lot less time than it might take some poor sucker who was born and raised in New England to become a 'Texan', or vice versa. Particularly if their skin is not the 'right' color. Shit, we still have people in places in the US who cannot vote, despite their families having lived in the location for multiple generations.
