## Transcript

Trevor Noah official kicked off his Daily Show hosting gig this week. But, a few cracks in his opening monologue didn't sit so well with his new audience. I'm saying The Pope is a huge [ BLEEP ], that was a joke, I'm saying. [ LAUGH ] Yep, after paying tribute to his successor, John Stewart, Trevor launched right into some raunchy jabs about the Pope, and he didn't stop there. While joking that John Boehner was the bouncer of Club Congress, Trevor let this bomb drop. Oh, and everyone at the club has AIDS. That's aides, the people that help you. You are [ INAUDIBLE ]. And then this happened. It's like crack telling meth that it's not addictive enough.

Yo man, you've got to step your game up, crystal. You make teeth fall out, big deal. I took down Whitney Houston. As you probably already guessed, not everyone was too happy with Trevor's. some off color humour. As a writer for Time put it, " The moments that didn't talk about Stewart were stripped of any real point- of- view. Noah was erratically scathing at times and utterly toothless at others ." Still, others think Noah has potential despite his rocky first attempt. Deb's been dubbed his opening night's okay, saying Noah's sweet- awkward newness aside, nothing tonight is destined to go viral, but maybe that's for the best.

Guess we'll have to wait and see how Trevor fares in Jon Stewart's shoes after some practice.
