"Definitely. He was never going to fill Stewart’s shoes. No one was. Nonetheless, he did a great job of maintaining the shows integrity."

@VelaphiM3 commented:

"Good on him for leaving, the only reason The Daily Show was relevant to the actual world, unlike American 'world' series anything. Let the Americans laugh themselves into irrelevance since they looking for jokes. They are becoming Jokes if not already."

"Trevor Noah was super hilarious and still is! Reading the comments from "some" people claiming he wasn't funny and that they haven't watched for seven years...so pray tell, how did you find him not funny by not watching at all."

"Noooooo! Love Trevor Noah."

"So you have enough money out of the American industrial military media complex and are buying an island in the Bahamas? Good on ya Trevor. Occasionally you have amused me and I’m an Aussie scientist so I’m a very hard sell. Live life and enjoy it."
