Appearing on Wednesday’s NBC Today, new Daily Show host Trevor Noah described his eagerness to mock the Republican 2016 field: “Yeah, a great gift, the campaign. Great gift, Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, these are all gifts, these are beautiful – I couldn't ask for more.”
Co-host Carson Daly had teed up Noah by remarking: “Plus, what a gift, he’s starting his job during a presidential year. So you’re going to have lots of great characters, obviously, in the running.” In August, the morning show lamented Jon Stewart not being around to mock the GOP debate.
