Time to clean house at The Daily Show?
I like Trevor, I've defended him on here, he has potential. He is lighthearted, silly, and irrelevant, like The Daily Show is SUPPOSED to be.
That being said, after over a year in the anchor's chair, The Daily Show still can't seem to shake itself free of the Jon Stewart virus. The Daily Show has managed to purge most of the worst Stewart era hacks like "Sam Bee" and Jessica Williams, but Stewart-style topics and tone continue to haunt the show and Trevor remains trapped in the shadow of Jon Stewart's ugly, condensing, DNC propaganda disguised as comedy era.
Let come to terms with this fact. It is time for a MAJOR shakeup of The Daily Show in 2017.
Too many people here want to blame Trevor for the mess he inherited from Stewart. It is NOT Trevor's fault that the hacks behind the scenes are forcing him to focus on Stewart-style garbage and spew Democrat Party propaganda. We must understand that Trevor is from South Africa and doesn't even care about or AGREE with half the stuff they make him talk about, which is why it sounds forced and unnatural when he preaches leftist American politics.
At the very least, its time to get rid of Hasan Minhaj (and I geninuely TRIED to like that guy, but enough is ENOUGH), Michelle Wolf (ditto. I defended her on here and she let me down), and Jordan Klepper.
EVERY Daily Show writer who voted for Hillary also MUST go. The Hillary propaganda was painful to watch, and that is coming from someone who defended it during the primary because the Bernie Sanders crybabies wanted The Daily Show to promote his candidacy. Of course I'm not saying the show should be stacked with Trump apologists on the writing staff, either. If you stayed home, left the presidential race blank, wrote in a candidate, voted for Jill Stein, voted for Gary Johnson, or did ANYTHING ELSE, fine. But if you voted for Hillary, its time for Trevor to show you the door. We've reached the end of your rope. The Daily Show exists to MAKE FUN of the establishment, NOT to promote an entrenched criminal like her.
It will take a major effort to purge the nasty stench of Stewart from the Daily Show, but we can and MUST get it done in 2017.
