Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would

Trevor continues to impress by just being himself - a smart, intelligent, perceptive, and thoughtful comedian and human being.

He touches upon a broad range of topics, making light of his part-Swiss heritage, in his unique way and an audience with even a somewhat global perspective will appreciate his insights and jokes.

Trevor leans heavily on experiences from his upbringing, diverse cultural connections, and being based in the States in recent years.

Didn't realize where the hour went by and I was surprised when I saw the timeline toolbar and realized the show's almost over.

His Indian bit was done very tastefully and I believe his audience from the subcontinent would enjoy how the scene and jokes were setup.

After a while not on stage, Trevor returns for his latest Netflix special, more like an inspirational speaker than a comedian. Despite some repetitive lines from his previous specials or even episodes of The Daily Show, Trevor couldn't really find "fresh" connections to all his jokes. It's not hard to detect some "exhausted" lines being recycled in this special. Even the audience's response wasn't that good. It's either we wished too hard, or we were putting a greater expectation after not seeing him on stage for 2 years.

A good warm up for him I guess, but hoping to see better ones soon. Keep it up Trevor!

I tried watching The Daily Show after Jon Stewart left but I just no longer found it funny. I have nothing against Trevor Noah. I think he is very smart and knowledgeable and I agree with him on many, many issues. I just don't find him that funny. This special is no exception. He is bright and funny. He also is a great impressionist and his mastery of languages is very impressive. However, I think this is an average stand up special with some very funny moments. I understand he is leaving the long running news show to go back to full time stand up. I am not sure that is a great move if this is an example of his best material.

So, I'm a fan of Trevor Noah, or at least used to be until I stopped watching the Daily show because it just dropped off.

And I really, really loved his old stand-up. New, fresh perspective on things. New stories, new takes. Exciting stuff.

I didn't have big expectations going into this, but most of this is regurgitated older material of his loosely strung together and it feels lazy. Maybe it's that he's too much in his bubble and has writers for his jokes on the show. Maybe he had a three show deal with Netflix and just had to get it over with.

My guess is, the guy's burnt out.

And I'm sure he'll come back strong, once he's stopped doing the Daily Show.

As a fan of T N, this was a snoozefest and not even close to good as his previous worst stand-up. At best, this would've been an ok 15-20 min stand-up open-mic night gig. Him speaking German with barely any explanation to what was being said was boring. Then the rest of the fist half was just dragged out nonsense with zero laughs thus far. The last half was the only time I broke a few chuckles, and even those jokes dragged on endlessly. His monologue on The Daily Show is hilarious, so now it's clear the TDS writers come up with all the funny content. He needs to make sure they go with him if he still plans on doing stand-up as a career, because had I paid to see him live for that one hour, I would've walked out half way through and demanded a refund. It's a generous 5/10, only because I'm still a fan.
