      imagine if jon wasn't so racist and didn't have the falling out with Wyatt Cenac, of if they hadn't made larry wilmore's show do the shitty panel segments instead of the proven formula of 1 on 1 interviews

        Lol very good point, but yeah I was specifically pointing out that there were people already working at the Daily Show that would’ve been good hosts. Jordan Klepper for example

            I suppose. I a little bit blame Netflix and the other stuff around it and think if he took over the Daily Show it would’ve gone better, but you might be right.

          yeah. Not sure if they were still there at the end, but Larry Wilmore or Wyatt Cenac would have been better choices.

            Just looked it up, when Jon Stewart left there were 5 correspondents, Hasan Minhaj, Jordan Klepper, Jessica Williams, Al Madrigal, and Aasif Mandvi. I think I would’ve preferred any of those to Trevor Noah. They also totally could’ve offered it to someone who had previously worked on it and left

            Hell, if Stewart had left a bit earlier they could’ve given it to John Oliver, who’s been super successful with Last Week Tonight. That started a year before Stewart left though
