Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would

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.

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.

If you know and love Trevor Noah, this special is no exception. If you're an interesting (or interested) person that appreciates worldwide references and jokes, he once again will not let you down. If you're a right-wing conspiracy theorist that can't take a joke, you're going to tighten up your butthole and rate this one star.

Comedy has never been about laughing 100% of the time. There has often been deeper themes between comedians and this special is another example of how you can reflect on humanity with humour.

Saying "he used to be funny" is an easy way to say your political beliefs don't line up with his.

Trevor Noah returns and rocks Toronto with a much-needed dose of self-actualization and sardonic observation that stirs laughter as well as thought. Sharp and wicked smart is Noah's raportage on Covid events, politicians, & society's gullibility to Trumpian conspiracy nonsense.

Noah's impressions are spot-on, hysterical, and hit home with a swift right hook: Trudeau's trip to India is priceless - and I should know because I'm Canadian.

Trevor has blossomed into a fully self-aware individual, one who unafraid to turn that perceptive eye inward as well as out.

This show displays growth and an intellectual maturity that George Carlin himself would give a tip-of-the-hat to.

Truly enjoyable.

He is so good at doing accents, impersonation etc and the last joke was the best with a twist bringing the show to a fantastic closing. Always love seeing him laugh at his own jokes too by giving us the cheeky grin and purported innocence. Overall, I enjoyed his show cos he really made me laugh so much and did not realise his hour was up. It went so quickly. Good entertainment..Thank you Trevor Noah very much.

Looking forward to seeing more of his stand-ups as he is such an intelligent comedian offering a unique perspective and always making sound reflections and sincere opinions through his brand of humour.
