I live in the South, and I've almost learned not to speak ill of anyone.

I've religiously watched Jon Stewart's replacement Trevor Noah and I just can't get over him being just 31 years old albeit adorable/handsome/dimpled/smart and working hard at filling a tough job.

When I'm awake long enough to see Seth Myers, then I know to whom I would like to give the job.

It would be nice for me if Seth Myers had gotten that job - I'm still awake at 11 pm EST - and he made me laugh out loud talking about the debate and so reminded me of Jon Stewart - but I had to wait til 12:30 or so to get to hear it. Trevor Noah, honestly and sadly, was muted and I poked around DU instead of listening.

but I never remember to turn them on in time, so I rely on You Tube and Comedy Central for online watching.

You don't have to speak ill of anyone in the south. You just have to say "well, bless his heart."

People will understand completely.

I will probably watch him the same way I watched Stewart though, when someone links to a video.

and I find myself speaking to fewer and fewer people and speaking ill of more and more underneath my breath. I do not think I can live here much longer seriously.
