People who have a sense of humour.Who cares about comedy central anyway
I think this is the tweet you are referring to:Some people are already saying on Twitter that he is anti-Semitic. (This is ironical since he is replacing a liberal New York Jew.) Why is he making fun of "fat chicks"?
Very important question: Does he support gay marriage?
I'm kind of glad they're not going to play it safe, and take a risk with more of an unknown. Who would you have picked Rob Riggle??? Samantha Bee???I don't care if he is anti or pro-anything. He's just not in Jon Stewart's league. I don't get it. He's not funny. I've watched his three appearances on the show so far, and he clearly doesn't even deserve to be a stringer let alone a host. Be careful if you visit Comedy Central's executive offices -- I think there's a gas leak.
The only people pretending to suggest this are partisan trolls trying to make politcal hay out of some banal shit a comedian said years ago. Noah ain't the first comedian to try out some of his weaker material on twitter, and not the first one to have it bite him in the ass. Which is stupid, because good comedians always prod the boundaries of what is acceptable and what isn't. (so do a lot of shitty ones, which kinda clouds the issue) But the only ironic thing about it is all the free speech heroes that are hypocritically calling for his head for some dumbass shit he said years ago solely because they don't like the leftie feel of the Daily Show.Some people are already saying on Twitter that he is anti-Semitic.
I had a similar reaction to the one Daily Show spot I saw him in, but other appearances elsewhere have me thinking he may do a good job after all. Unfortunately can't remember where I saw the non Daily Show appearances, but I remember being impressed with a quick wit that went beyond same-old jokes and material. I'm cautiously optimistic.I don't care if he is anti or pro-anything. He's just not in Jon Stewart's league. I don't get it. He's not funny.

Those bastards!People who have a sense of humour.
yeah he told a black guy he was gonna hang him...and called him a niggerI vaguely remember Michael Richards (Seinfeld fame) saying something about black people and he was fired. Will try to find a link. BTW: Seinfeld can be funny without being offensive and/or hurtful.
Fired from what?I vaguely remember Michael Richards (Seinfeld fame) saying something about black people and he was fired....
Just seen him once and I think he could be good. He seems intelligent with a quick wit which is a great asset for interviews.I had a similar reaction to the one Daily Show spot I saw him in, but other appearances elsewhere have me thinking he may do a good job after all. Unfortunately can't remember where I saw the non Daily Show appearances, but I remember being impressed with a quick wit that went beyond same-old jokes and material. I'm cautiously optimistic.
The fact that his humour has been based on insulting people makes the show suddenly irrelevant.I don't care if he is anti or pro-anything. He's just not in Jon Stewart's league. I don't get it. He's not funny....
I agree with you. However, take some time and watch some old Seinfeld episodes. Ironically, many of the classics could never be made in today's hyper-PC intolerant world.I vaguely remember Michael Richards (Seinfeld fame) saying something about black people and he was fired.

like Married With Children. And to think it was aired on fox originally. All those anchor's heads on Fox would be spinning if CBS aired a show like that today.I agree with you.

Talk a bout a total meltdown....LOLI vaguely remember Michael Richards (Seinfeld fame) saying something about black people and he was fired. Will try to find a link
