Who the heck is Trevor Noah? Trevor Noah set to replace Jon Stewart on 'The Daily Show' http://www.wral.com/trevor-noah-set-to-replace-stewart-on-daily-show-/14548477/
How very PC of them. Light skinned black guy that no one ever heard of. Where have we seen this play out before?
"I'll take fake news show replacement hosts for $1000, Alex" AT: Who replaced Stephen Cobert when he left the Cobert Report on Comedy Central?
Jesus Christ people need to lighten the fuck up already, If thats the kind of stuff that gets a COMEDIAN in shit these days then we are doomed as a society. Last night I watched Justin Bieber's Roast, (I would highly reccommend it for anyone who likes comedy and hates Bieber) and Martha Stewart was making jokes about the "N" word, she made a joke about how Snoop was African American Rich, If we have really gone so far that Martha Stewart seems edgy, then we are just creating a society full of pussies. I dont find this Trevor Noah guy all that funny, definitely not going to be good enough to replace Jon Stewart, but I sure dont think he deserves to be getting skewered by the thought police for a couple jokes about jews, and people being fat. Here is a little taste of the Beiber Roast on comedy central, they got Ron Burgundy to roast him, and he was one of the funnier ones.

I've watched almost all of these comedy roasts in the past few years. It's like bizarro-world. Every racial epithet, stereotype, etc...is fair game and no one really gets too offended by the whole thing. It reminds me of what the world was like 30-40 years ago. People could just "razz" each other and only hyper-sensitive pussies would get worked up about it... Granted, Martha Stewart was sidestepping around things, but Natasha Legaro let it fly and was just going full bore on all the stereotypes, etc...and I didn't see anyone get worked up about it. Presumably the vast majority of the audience were the same bunch of "PC mongers" who would lose their shit if the "wrong people" said these things elsewhere, but it's all laughs and smiles so long as the "right people" repeat some of the crudest, most racist stuff you'll ever see... Frankly, I think these roasts should be required viewing for all of these easily offended, hyper-sensitive pussies that pollute the left (and these forums)...
Yeah ive seen alot of those roasts and I agree with you whole heartedly, they are hilarious, but at the same time, a conservative would never get away with it. We have taken a step way too far in the wrong direction in terms of becoming overly sensitive, the internet has created a place where you can find a group of people to be offended about just about anything. I love the comedians who just push the boundaries and dont give a fuck, Russell Peters is one of my favourites, his entire show is about racial stereotypes, and he is able to get away with it because hes a brown guy, and most of the stereotypes he does is about brown people.
Comedian Jim Norton on Trevor Noah Backlash: ‘Mob of Self-Centered Narcissists’ by Josh Feldman | 6:55 pm, April 1st, 20151 Comedian Jim Norton has quite a lot to say aboutthe outrage bubbling about new Daily Show hostTrevor Noah, and expressed his feelings about the “increasingly reactionary mob of self-centered narcissists” in Time Magazine today. Norton contends that, basically, Western culture has become a “tireless brigade of social-justice warriors” working their hardest to find something, anything, to be offended about. And Noah, of course, had committed the ultimate sin: saying things “that may be deemed even remotely offensive or upsetting by any segment of the population for any reason.” And this outrage, Norton says, is an addiction: Being outraged and upset and feeling bullied or offended are not only things we enjoy, they’re also things we have become thoroughly addicted to. When we can’t purposefully get our feelings hurt by a comedian, we usually find another, albeit less satisfying, source of indignation… I choose to believe that we are addicted to the rush of being offended, the idea of it, rather than believing we have become a nation of emasculated children whose only defense against an abyss of emotional agony is a trigger warning. He looked through Noah’s controversial tweets and the only thing Norton found connected them was “the embarrassment I feel for anyone claiming to be offended by them.” Norton’s only the latest comedian to push back against the Noah furor, after plenty of others leaped to Noah’s defense or mocked the outrage on Twitter. Patton Oswalt in particular mocked the outrage as a way of welcoming Noah to comedy in 2015.
