Comedy Central announced the successor to Jon Stewart today.
It will be Trevor Noah, the biracial South African comedian that has made a couple of appearances on the show already. I haven't been impressed with his stuff on the show so far, but his standup is awesome.
I'm not really sure what to think. On one hand, I wish it was someone who had a little more success on the show already, like Jessica Williams or Samantha Bee or even Aasif Mandvi or Jordan Klepper. On the other hand, trying to "replace" Jon Stewart is a fool's errand. It cannot be done. Going in a completely new direction is smart. We'll see, I guess.
I do not envy Trevor Noah. Big fucking shoes to fill.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
