Trevor Noah and Stephen Colbert step up: Donald Trump made "The Daily Show" and out-of-character Colbert relevant again

Salon  

While we had plenty of good satire during the 2016 election cycle, nothing quite matched the comedic impact of the dynamic duo of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert when they hosted back-to-back shows on Comedy Central. The next year Stewart followed Colbert’s announcement with his own, telling fans he was ready to move on and depart as host of “The Daily Show.” Then it was announced that South African comic Trevor Noah would take over, prompting many of us to be concerned that he was ill-equipped for the job. Colbert’s new show was fun and funny, but it wasn’t sharp like “The Colbert Report” and Noah often seemed totally out of his league. So its success can’t be measured by viewers; its success lies in its ability to help viewers understand what Stewart called “bullshit mountain.” As Noah and Colbert have aimed their satire at Trump and his endless clown car of insanity, their comedy has sharpened and their ratings have surged. Despite Colbert's attempt to be more “neutral” in the early days of “The Late Show,” his satire isn’t about taking sides or being partisan.
