Trevor Noah, the newly announced host of the Daily show, is under fire for some controversy in Old Jokes. Trevor Noah is the bright young comedian who has been anointed the successor to Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. Not many people knew that much about him. He'd only appeared on the Daily show three times, and he's now officially been named the successor. Here's what is surprising a lot of people as they go through his Twitter accounts and other old stand up. They're finding lots and lots of jokes that are offensive to gays, lesbians, to women, to fat people, and to Israel. Who would have known a comedian would have said something offensive to somebody? Now, I'm certainly not defending all of his jokes as funny or politically correct or appropriate. It does seem at this point that Comedy Central is standing by him. Folks, I'm not in favor of promoting bigotry and hatred, but it does seem as though we're in difficult, charted territory if we're going to judge comedians on whether or not they offend people. Excuse the backdrop, the video loop just went out. But if we say only comedians can host shows if they've never said anything offensive, we're going to end up with a pretty small list of comedians and comedic talent to choose from. What do you think? I'm not asking if you agree with all this guy's jokes, but are we going to eliminate comedians on the basis of jokes we don't like? That does seem a bit arbitrary.
