“A new Daily Show is like an iOS update. Everyone complains of the font, but life goes on. ” The statement was made by Dave Itzkoff, the newspaper New York Times , on Twitter, after the debut of South African Trevor Noah to present the Comedy Central program that Jon Stewart has become one of the references of contemporary television .
The South African comedian 31 years, very popular in South Africa (where he arrived to present a chat show) but one relative unknown in the rest of the world, made on Monday night his debut ahead of program, replacing Stewart, who commanded the Daily Show for 16 years and announced his departure in February. Noah was announced as the new host of the program in March, with the “blessing” of his predecessor, and became the target of the media spotlight over the past few months, numerous opinion pieces, profiles and background interviews. The main question that everyone tried to answer: Noah will be able to wear the shoes Stewart
Trevor Noah started the program just remembering the man we all miss?. “I assume that this is as strange to you as it is for me. Jon Stewart was more than presenter. Was so often our voice, our refuge, and in many ways, our political father, “began by saying Noah, admitting it is” strange “the father have gone. “Now it’s as if the family had a new stepfather – and he is black. What is not ideal, “joked the South African, who took the opportunity to thank your pick Stewart:” Thank you for believing in me. ” “I’m not sure what a view on me but I will work hard every day to find out. I will make no pareças the crazy old guy who left his inheritance to a random kid in Africa. “
Write Brian Moylan on The Guardian Noah that the best jokes were those of the initial monologue. Moylan then compares the action of South Africa to review the present with what Jon Stewart did so well and journalist Noah still has some work to do. Remember that Stewart, with his gaze satirical about the reality – no modesty left and right. – Was seen as a credible source, whose opinion mattered hear
Trevor Noah did not ignore the resignation of president US House of Representatives, John Boehner, which many Republicans considered not conservative enough. “It’s like cocaine to methamphetamine say it is not too addictive.” One of the controversial moment of the night happened here when Noah called to joke singer Whitney Houston, who died in 2012. “I laid down the Whitney Houston,” he joked, as if it were methamphetamine to respond to cocaine. Public were the problems of the singer with methamphetamine. “Too early?”
The presenter then spent for the visit of Pope Francis to the United States. He spent the Pope visits the images and the millions of people who follow and then play with words, pasting the Pope to some of the best known country music festivals: “Popechella, Pope-by-Popewest”. Noah did even a joke about Francis’ manhood by driving a very small car.
The first reactions to the first issue conducted by the South African, who kept most of the production team and the creation and had as guest fund comedian Kevin Hart, are not conclusive but are in general positive. And can be summarized in the opinion of Erik Davis, site AV Club, which stresses that it makes sense to use the debut program as gauge of a “work-in-progress” that takes time to establish, “It was a first cautious program” .
To Daniel D’Addario, the journal Time , “it’s like Noah knew that there would be a flight of criticism by comparing it negatively to Stewart, and had sought to circumvent the problem referencing it as often as possible. ” In the journal Hollywood Reporter , Daniel Fienberg says. “It is particularly shocking that the South African [...] has not managed to overcome the bar in its first 20 minutes the desk” Critical points out that ” best thing, and the most honest, that can be said about Monday’s debut is that he did not program the cable. Also did not try to do it. “
And Brian Moylan called it” a first median night without triumph or embarrass completely, “stressing that” it will take months to find their rhythm. “
Perhaps the most significant appointment is that even on social networks Noah’s debut did not deserve violent reactions, with most commentators to adopt an attitude of “wait and see”.
In Portugal , the Daily Show so far was broadcast on SIC Notícias. PUBLIC questioned by the communications office of the SIC said that this time the channel did not buy the program as well is unknown if the new Daily Show will on Portuguese television.
