No. Not really. I rarely watch Stewart anymore (other than clips of his particularly good stuff--and he's been on a roll lately given the fact that he's out and has zero fucks to give). Don't know Noah very well. In fact I was hoping Tina Fey would have taken the job.
I thought some of the jokes the internet police force picked out were troubling. I said as much. I watched Noah do his thing as a correspondent right when they introduced him and he was very good--good enough that I watched his stand-up, which held my interest for awhile. He faded over the course of his set because I imagine he got too big too quickly and didn't really have enough material to fill a full hour.
What I find so weird here is that everyone (and maybe I'm unfairly lumping you in with everyone else) is so quick to make a determination on whether the guy is funny based on the 6 cherry-picked jokes held up to show he may not be qualified. That seems insane to me whether we're talking about whether he should be given a fantastic show or whether we're deciding whether the guy is funny.
