Oh damn, that was interesting! I skipped ahead until I found the part about why he left the daily show… 21:26
A few minutes into that discussion, he got broader about the struggles of all late night shows… SUPER INTERSTING points brought up there!
Around 9:50, when he described Jon Stewart’s style vs. Trevor Noah’s style - it sounds like he preferred Trevor’s style because it was more nuanced and tried to examine both sides of an issue vs. Stewart’s lambasting

You’re seeing a lot of justifiable reasons to go to war in Iraq?
I watched the entire thing. Terrific. Thanks for posting. I would not have found it otherwise.

I will certainly miss him on TDS and will be interested to see what he does next.

TDS’ gift to the world is the number of unknown comedians they gave a spotlight to that were then able to make it big working with Stewart and went on to launch their own careers.
It’s the show that launched a 1,000 careers, to paraphrase.
