Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would

I tried watching The Daily Show after Jon Stewart left but I just no longer found it funny. I have nothing against Trevor Noah. I think he is very smart and knowledgeable and I agree with him on many, many issues. I just don't find him that funny. This special is no exception. He is bright and funny. He also is a great impressionist and his mastery of languages is very impressive. However, I think this is an average stand up special with some very funny moments. I understand he is leaving the long running news show to go back to full time stand up. I am not sure that is a great move if this is an example of his best material.

If you know and love Trevor Noah, this special is no exception. If you're an interesting (or interested) person that appreciates worldwide references and jokes, he once again will not let you down. If you're a right-wing conspiracy theorist that can't take a joke, you're going to tighten up your butthole and rate this one star.

Comedy has never been about laughing 100% of the time. There has often been deeper themes between comedians and this special is another example of how you can reflect on humanity with humour.

Saying "he used to be funny" is an easy way to say your political beliefs don't line up with his.

What happened to this guy? At least he was somewhat funny but this special is so boring and preachy... I fell asleep halfway around and later forced myself to finish it. Sure, he can do accents but that is far from enough, especially from someone like him. Not once did I laugh. I was just sitting and quietly thinking: is he serious? What the heck is this? It's not even mediocre level just pure garbage.

Regarding his messages that felt really forced: it was more like repeating talking points and not a stand-up show. It looks like the isolation really made these famous people even more out of touch with reality and common folks.

Also his material feels outdated, this would have been acceptable maybe 1 or 1.5 years ago. Also most people had enough of this whole worldwide sickness misery... let it go already!

I've adored his past specials, have read his book and listened to his podcast. I love how he makes me think and laugh in equal measures, fueled by his imagination and worldy, compassionate perspective. Happy to hear he'll be doing more comedy now.

Overall, this special had some funny moments for me but fell flat compared to his others. One of my favorite bits was ordering Indian food in a Scottish restaurant, and I think some of his best material comes from retelling stories of his own personal experiences.

Enough of the material I'd already heard him speak to before (his German accent for example), so it didn't feel as fresh or engaging. I'm sure now that he's doing his own thing he'll have much more material to work with, and I'll be hear for it and rooting for him.

Trevor continues to impress by just being himself - a smart, intelligent, perceptive, and thoughtful comedian and human being.

He touches upon a broad range of topics, making light of his part-Swiss heritage, in his unique way and an audience with even a somewhat global perspective will appreciate his insights and jokes.

Trevor leans heavily on experiences from his upbringing, diverse cultural connections, and being based in the States in recent years.

Didn't realize where the hour went by and I was surprised when I saw the timeline toolbar and realized the show's almost over.

His Indian bit was done very tastefully and I believe his audience from the subcontinent would enjoy how the scene and jokes were setup.
