Trevor Noah concluded his seven-year run at “The Daily Show” this week, to the end an awkward fit for a role that, admittedly, was near-impossible to fill.
, who was previously seldom counted among this more ideological cohort, has used his young son’s health crises to plead for a more sensible health-care system.
While political comedians have generally leaned into the intensity and obsessiveness that Stewart cultivated as his calling card, Noah stands apart; his charisma lies in his coolness and detachment. His view is from somewhere, but it’s also decidedly anthropological. As the, in a tribute, Noah’s worldliness expanded late night’s geographical imagination, but he rarely came off as caring on a gut level—let alone on Stewart’s ulcer level—about the blow-by-blow of American horse-race politics.
Every individual contains multitudes. But because Noah’s biography has come to comprise a greater part of his public persona than those of his peers, and because we’ve encountered distillations of his comedic voice through his specials, the gap between what he offered on “The Daily Show” and what he’s capable of was ever distracting. Stewart treated “The Daily Show” like a calling; Noah just seemed like he was there to do a job.
Meanwhile, “The Daily Show” ’s tropes—sitting behind a desk, flitting through the day’s headlines—provided only a fitful showcase for Noah’s most exceptional gifts as a comedian, such as his physicality and his extraordinary ear for accents and impressions. Noah seemed to reserve his unguarded moments for online-only “Between the Scenes” clips, in which he spoke off the cuff about personal experiences and took questions from the studio audience on the debates of the day.
