Yeah, and unfortunately, some of the correspondents seemed to be more about representation than being legitimately funny. I thought Noah was affable enough, but maybe too affable, if you know what I mean. I like Jon’s persona very much and the format suits him well. Craig Kilborn’s version of the show was barely memorable for me. I think I Tivo’ed it just because, but once Jon made it his own, I forgot all about the prior version.

The best thing on the show in recent years has been, ironically enough, a white dude - Jordan Klepper does standout work, especially when out talking to the magabunch. But he is rarely part of the show.

Comedy Central need to give him full employment, TBH. His show only lasted about a minute there, but it was great. The other funny people on there are the one white guy that is sort of the everyman and the white woman ( I think they were both given a chance to guest host too, and did pretty good), and then there is Ronnie Chang, who is usually hilarious. Love it when he’s on the screen.

As for many other guest hosts and correspondents - I don’t know, I guess some audiences confuse being very loud with actually being funny, but that is not my thing.
