Trevor eviscerates Trump with hilarious, surgical precision--Africa knows how to do it!



Last night marked the culmination of Trevor Noah’s first week on the job, and fittingly, it felt most like a departure from “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.”

For example: There was no Moment Of Zen, which is a crucial artifact of the show under Stewart; there was also a musical guest who actually just played music, à la any number of variety shows, including “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”

But there was an incredible opening segment—one that felt like “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver,” to my surprise.

If Trevor can keep up this quality of work, he'll carry on the Daily Show tradition with distinction.

Stewart would be proud.
