Trevor Noah: How’d He Do?
It was only one night, so I’ll reserve final judgment. Speaking of his storied predecessor, Jon Stewart, Noah said: ‘I’ll make you not look like the crazy old dude who left his inheritance to some random kid from Africa.’ I thought: Dude, you’re 31, which is certainly younger than Stewart but hardly a kid. And if you are going to rely on that smile to get you through the groaningly stupid jokes — last night, there was one about the Pope‘s supposedly prodigious penis — you are so wrong.
