The Daily Show with Trevor Noah (Comedy Central, 11 p.m.) – We all knew this was coming. Jon Stewart’s replacement is taking his turn behind The Daily Show desk tonight. Either Trevor Noah — that guy from South Africa who seems to have a knack for pissing people off on Twitter – will be able to fill the big shoes left behind by his predecessor (he is a foreigner, and that’s usually comedic gold when it comes to making fun of quintessentially American things like, for instance, batsh*t crazy presidential candidates), or he’ll crash and burn in glorious fashion. We’ll watch no matter what because both scenarios make for good TV, but with Kevin Hart as Noah’s first guest, at least he won’t have to work too hard to make the interview portion of the show funny.
