NEW HOST TREVOR NOAH SAYS ‘DAILY SHOW’ WON’T BASH FOX NEWS AS OFTEN
The Daily Show was based on an emerging 24hour news cycle, thats everything it was, Noah said at the Television Critics Association press tour on Wednesday, according to Entertainment Weekly.Thats what inspired the Daily Show. Now you look at news and its changed. Its no longer predicated around 24 hour news. There are so many different choices. Half of it is online now. Now youve got the Gawkers, the Buzzfeeds. The way people are drawing their news is soundbites and headlines and click-bait links has changed everything. The biggest challenge is going to be an exciting one, Im sure, is how are we going to bring all of that together looking at it from a bigger lens as opposed to just going after one source which was historically Fox News.Noah, who takes over hosting duties from Stewart in September, also laid out a few of the changes the Daily Show will undergo, including changes to the shows set, different jokes, and different sensitivities.But the shows spirit will undoubtedly live on, as Comedy Central reportedly announced that five of Stewarts executive producers will remain onboard for Noahs tenure.Were still dealing with the same issues, its just a different angle were looking at things from and its my angle, really, Noah elaborated. Im taking things in a slightly different direction, but to the same endpoint.Wednesdays panel came on the heels of Noahs Tuesday night stand-up performance for television journalists in Santa Monica, where he gave critics a brief window into what his tenure on the Daily Show might look like.According to Deadline, Noahs stand-up performance eschewed political commentary in favor of Seinfeld-esque comedy about social issues, with a special focus on law enforcements treatment of the black community. http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2015/07/29/new-host-trevor-noah-says-daily-show-wont-bash-fox-news-as-often/
