Thank goodness. I hated it when he left the first time.
The people after him, before he came back, were…okay, but just not enough of an edge, overall. Sure there might have been a bit more “representation”, but it seemed to be more bothsiderist than not in the outlook. That might be because Trevor just seems to be a really nice guy and more of an outsider on American politics. When they had guests hosts after Trevor and before Jon came back, the quality varied a lot.
I kept seeing a push around that time to try to get Leslie Jones into what seemed like everything, and, wow, I just don’t like that style at all. Around that era, I was really worried they’d give the show to her. I was hoping that someone like Sarah Silverman might helm it. But really happy that Jon decided to come back even if only one day a week.

Been watching off and on for years. Stewart definitely has the hardest hitting lines, but Klepper and Chieng have grown on me. I’ve seen a few clips of Cheing outside the Show, I think the writers could unleash him a little and he’d do better.

I’m glad to see Josh Johnson in the hosting rotation lately. For those who don’t know, he also releases a live, fresh, topical stand-up routine every Tuesday night on his YouTube channel. Idk how he can churn that out while traveling in between appearances on TDS. He must just love doing it.
