Double whammy of being offensive AND not funny.

There was a lot of talent passed over in choosing this guy to host TDS. I’m not saying he didn’t deserve, but he definitely has yet to prove himself. His attitude toward women is NOT what I like to see from someone I hoped would be a progressive voce on gender issues as host…

Just another misogynist antisemitic tweeting asshole. The bar has been set stunningly low at The Daily Show.

But the important thing is that he wasn’t white. Or so I saw over and over.

But…but…he loves the womens! He loves to bend them over and screw them in his fine German automobile! See? LOVE!

America’s “Outrage-Industrial Complex” never sleeps. Sheesh!

Oh, very clever, Hitlery! You’ve single-handedly changed the reasoned, awesome important topic of your e-mail server to the new host of a television talk show that’s a fake news program! Fie!

Everyone’s a victim! Let’s see…I’m of Irish decent, what can I unearth that will qualify ME as being wronged!!! I need “my fair share of abuse.” (mj)

There was a whole bunch of stuff, but you were drunk so you missed it.

“passed over” or declined?

Apparently some of those talented people passed over like Jessica Williams declined the honor.

I am willing to also give Trevor Noah the benefit of the doubt and see if he has changed since he wrote those tweets. There are many instances of people actually changing their views over time.

As a Jewish man, I can’t get enough of jokes re. Jewish women’s supposed abhorrence of oral sex.
Until I read Noah’s tweets, that is.

A comedian makes jokes! News at 11. Jesus Bill Maher is right about some of you people.

Yes, one of them is ALMOST a whole year old!

Tina Fey says 'if you want to make Americans laugh, you dress a man up as an old lady and push him down the stairs. If you want to make comedy writers laugh, you push an old lady down the stairs."

He just pushed some old ladies down the stairs, looks like. I’ll give him a pass and see what the producers are trying to get at with him. He had big shoes to fill and has to be more than shocking.

HEY!! I am of Irish descent–and Native American, to boot–and I don’t drink. I’m a poor excuse for being Irish as I don’t even have a taste for the stuff. I’ve tried but just can’t enjoy the taste – or the effect. I guess I’m kind of a control freak.

Stop abusing me! (oh, unless you’re as cute as your little cartoon dude … and gay, then you’re free to “abuse” me). /s

This fucking stupid. Everyone of you who is criticizing this guy, are you telling me that there are things from 5, 6 years ago you wrote that you don’t wish you could take back? or that could be used to portray you as misogynist, racist or just a plain asshole? For fucks sake, this nothing but manufactured outrage by a bunch of SJW’s with nothing better to do with their time.

Sorry, dear. Completely straight. You can tell by my awful dress sense.

(OMG, now I’m oppressing MYSELF!)

Oh, well – you wouldn’t be my first straight crush. An old schoolmate of mine was my first real crush, but, alas, he married and has kids. I think he knew (and this was the '70s and '80s) but never let on. Now, of course, my radar is pretty spot-on so I only make that mistake on line and with cute cartoons.

Now, now, stop beating up on your fashion sense. To this day, my first choice is levis and a comfy shirt.

Thats all they got and their screaming racist, antisemitic??? People…you need to hold your fire for the real bigots…like Mike Pence…who are not funny.
FYI, I’m Jewish and while the tweets are in poor taste…thats about the extent of it…and out of 9000??? Much sound and fury signifying nothing…move along
