ravishingravi Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Man! I am not even from US. But it is hard to imagine TV without him. One of the few voices of reasons and incisive commentary on state of things. Comedic genius. Truly. This did leave a lump in my throat. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lQyz0ouDvyk
Ram Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I have been to show taping(s), I went to his rally in DC in 2010. He was one of the main reasons why I chose to live in NY/NJ area 5/6 years (wanted to see his show live). His departure is a huge loss. P.S; I have a feeling he wont be gone for long though.
swatpulla Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I thought it was a joke when Obama mentioned this. :( Some great hosts have retired this year. I will never forget him interviewing Musharraf after that Abottabad raid. It was so enjoyable. :D

veer Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I dont follow him much... but what's the reason for so many late night talk show hosts leaving their spots?? Is there something that i am missing.
Ram Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I dont follow him much... but what's the reason for so many late night talk show hosts leaving their spots?? Is there something that i am missing. The timings of their departure are mostly a co-incidence. Letterman and Leno were simply going too old. Colbert wanted to try something different and Stewart got too bored with what he was doing...
maniac Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Won't be surprised if there is a political office aspiration there somewhere. Anyway the guy is smart, charismatic,has a clean profile,still relatively young,has a huge following....so don't be surprised. He is Jewish so that could be the only thing that might work against him,no matter how much Jews rule behind the scenes
maniac Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Also I think Trevor Noah will do a good job....I have seen some of his standup and he is pretty good....I think he is a good replacement
Desi Cartman Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I actually don't think Trevor will be successful. Comedy Central missed out on john Oliver big time. That guy has some serious talent. Fwiw, I would prefer Jason jones to Trevor.
ravishingravi Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 ^ For his sake, I hope you are wrong and he does okay

Fwiw, I would prefer Jason jones to Trevor. Trevor Noah may bomb or may be succesful but if you have heard Trevor's standup,it is pretty political and has a social theme pretty much like John Stewart's style of Comedy...On top of that just like John Oliver,he brings in an outsider's perspective as he is not American. As a standup he has had a pretty succesful career so far To add the most over looked aspects of being a success on TV,he is decent looking...Not to forget he is black which will open up his show to a new demographic and for all we know will make him an icon....His humor is not just black only like say a Larry wilmore. So he has more going for him than not.....Yeah you can never tell he might bomb badly but right now there are more positives

I have seen him a few times on Jon Stewart and I wasnt impressed. Oh btw, Larry is an epic fail. I watched his show everyday for the first few weeks but when I saw Shehnaz Kareem on it for the 3rd or 4th time, I just couldnt tolerate it. I think he is someone whom I would want to listen to in a segment but not everyday.
