Does Trevor Noah annoy anyone else?

I like Trevor!

I think he has a fascinating background and really loved his book. That said, I do feel like he is a little bit of a one trick pony. I dont know if he is as dynamic as comedies need to be to keep it fresh year after year. Its fine to have your basic themes that run threw your career but you need a little more then a sob story to grow on. Once we all know his background and his obstacles he overcame its kinda done.

So dull.

He's a bit too smug for my taste. Colbert has an earnestness and charm that is so appealing.

It's a weird pet peeve but I find the way that Samantha Bee speaks really annoying. It's like she drags out all her words.

I cannot stand Samantha Bee. Completely and utterly unfunny.

Eh, Stewart, Colbert, and Trevor Noah are all smug really. Colbert was funny on the Colbert Show, but now that he's #Resistance, he's hard to watch.

He was always Resistance. Did you think he was being earnest on the Colbert Show?

Trevor Noah is brilliant and hilarious and I think he is wonderful. Anyone who has a problem with him is probably harboring some racism and or sexual jealousy over his vast appeal.

That coupled with the white women on DCUM who are feminists first so they feel that Samantha Bee was slighted means that there is no way he was going to win them over.

No.

I don’t find him very funny. Comedians should not be good looking.

Right? The Colbert Report was satire, just like The Opposition. Do people really not get that?

Must be the same idiots who think “born in the USA” is patriotic

Jon Stewart started a new type of late show comedy approach, and he will always be the true master of that. Trevor has a different approach and a much more interesting background that gives him a very unique viewpoint. I just finished his book (that I highly recommend) and it is astounding that he got to where he is today. I think he is as funny as any of the other comedians on late night shows, and his dimple and accent make him easy to watch.

Oh, sweetie. We've been waiting for you! You're probably the same person who thinks Hillary Clinton lost because of "sexism." Or that those of us who don't like Beyoncé are "racists." Newsflash: we can have our preferences without it being linked to sexism or racism, as you so desperately want it to be.

Trevor Noah is a cute young man who is probably a charming individual. But he's not funny.

I felt sad about Jon Stewart departing the way I felt when I heard the news that Steve Jobs had died. A major loss and the end of an era.

Who possibly could fill Jon Stewart's shoes? Well, I was pleasantly surprised by Trevor Noah. I even remember thinking that this guy might actually surpass Jon Stewart. And Trevor has been entrusted with this platform, this pulpit from which to influence millions of Americans, a major responsibility.

However, lately I find myself cringing over a few of Trevor's annoying habits of speech that I wish he would consider to change. Trevor, if you read this please try to stop using some of your repetitive meaningless phrases like:

1. "I'm not gonna lie". Trevor seems to use this inane phrase at least once or twice a show. Really? If you have to tell us when you're not going to lie, then are you maybe lying all the other times? Can you please delete this phrase from your vocabulary?

2. "I'm gonna be honest." Again, he uses this phrase often. Do you really need to tell us when you're being honest? Again, please eliminate this annoying phrase.

3. "The thing is..." Harmless but useless words. Take any sentence that uses that phrase, and repeat it without the "The thing is", and there is no difference in meaning other than greater clarity in a shorter sentence.

4. "What I'm saying..." Again, harmless, but useless words.

5. "Moving on..." This phrase is used many times as the only words for a seque from one segment to another. It is overused and trite. Can you think of some original ways to transition? For example, "And now..", "Up next..", "In our next bit", "Turning now to...", "Let's now focus on the issue of...", "And what do you think about the fact that...", etc., etc. Mix it up a bit please.

Trevor, I'm gonna be honest and I'm not gonna lie. What I'm saying is, well, the thing is that sometimes you say meaningless stuff and it annoys me. OK, moving on..
