    I mean, I’m sure that most of Jon’s writers went on to work for other DS hosts and Oliver. Trevor Noah absolutely seemed to be reading from Jon’s script, even attempting the same gags. But it always fell flat to me, because as you say, Jon’s delivery is what makes it.

    He’s also much sharper on the interviews. I know he hasn’t gone on the attack yet in this run, or if anyone would even be dumb enough to spar with him, but he is a master debater.

      There are definitely people out there who I think are dumb enough to take him on. And among them are some I’d adore to watch him take on.
