Anecdote that turned me off to him. There is this lady I know who was like a comedian booker/casting director. She invited Trevor Noah to an event like at the South African Counsulate. Or something where there were going to be a ton of Africans at. And he told her he didn't come to the US to hang out with a bunch of Africans.
Dude got the job by being a social climber, company man. Not being funny.
The bench is deep. You could go Samantha Bee, Hasan as mentioned,jordan klepper...I don't think Roy Woods Jr but dude is extra funny. Just don't think that's his format. Roy Wood should be in an extra black environment with jokes.
