“The Daily Show” hasn’t changed much since Donald Trump took office. It’s the same political commentary we’ve been seeing since the late ’90s. It’s a bit more scathing — appropriate considering the material they have to work with — but besides a new host in Trevor Noah taking over from Jon Stewart and a batch of fresh correspondents, “The Daily Show” is still the same fake journalism we’ve come to rely on.
It’s everybody else that’s changed around them. Since Trump took office in January, late-night television has attempted to step up to “The Daily Show’s” level — but over on Comedy Central,ย it’s business as usual.
