I don't know why I'm posting this here, but I am SOOOOO annoyed by Trevor Noah. He's smug, unfunny, and goes for easy, cheap jokes. His accents are insufferable, and all he really does is regurgitate what our idiot president does and says.

I think what really annoys me about him is that everyone around me loves him, and doesn't find any of his idiotic comments offensive (i.e., the stupid Academy Awards 2019: Trevor Noah'''s Xhosa quote was actually a sly Oscars joke. ). Rather, they hang on his every word as if he's a comedic genius on the level of Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy.

Anyone else here feel this way?

This is definitely off-topic. It could be moved to another forum. Anyway, I can say that I was turned off by him a lot, initially. Now I don't mind him as much, but that doesn't mean I watch his show. I watch very little TV, but I do like such comedy shows, but am selective.

My husband and I used to watch Jon Steward, though I've always been more of a Stephen Colbert fan, and followed him from The Colbert Report to his current late show. About a week ago, he had Trevor Noah guest interview him. I thought Trevor did a better job even than when Jon Steward guest interviewed him. I can understand why Jon Steward wasn't offered the spot that Letterman left. Not a good fit for him. I think that someday in the future, Trevor Noah may possibly find a place in the major late or late late night arena. I adore John Oliver, but he's best doing what he's doing on HBO. I see him rarely, because we don't have HBO.

I can't stand Conan O'Brien. Really, can't stand him. And yet he has a very loyal following. My husband doesn't like him either, but he tortures me occasionally and keeps it on through that annoying bit with his nipples. Yuck! And his side-kick is annoying! We used to watch Samantha Bee, and I was happy to see another female comedy show host, but she's grown so angry and scary. I don't like or need angry, mean, and scary!

Sometimes we watch little bits of Jimmy Kimmel's and Seth Meyers' shows. They have their talents. Jimmy Fallon is a pleasant guy, but not my type of comedian. Ditto for James Corden. Again, Colbert is my favorite, and I even like Jon Batiste, his band leader, and his band, better than the others.

Everyone’s sense of humor is different.

Sorry this person upsets you.

Maybe don’t watch him at all ?

I have no idea who Trevor Noah is, guess I'm out of the loop lol I don't really pay much attention to what happens on TV or in the celebrity world, I just use Netflix
