You didn’t drag it down, you merely confirmed the suspicion that he is an asshole. Sorry he did this to you.

The fact that you called him ‘Mr. Noah’ makes me question your objectivity. But regardless of that, the story just rings genuine to me. If it is made up, it is well crafted.

Intresting and very sad, sorry to hear that happened. I don’t like Trevor Noah because if you watch his comedy specials many of his jokes poked somewhat malicious fun at black Americans. He got famous off of routines exploiting and making jokes at American black peoples’ expense. Classic immigrant scenario: degrade…

As a person with a disability, I wish I could recommend your comment more than once.

I’m sorry this happened to you. I have scoliosis, too, and had to wear a back brace growing up. But I whined my way out of wearing it at school because I knew it would be so awful for me as a shy and new kid in town. I was super self-conscious about it. It’s never ok to make fun of someone about something they can’t…

That is fucking awful. I get the sense from all those old tweets from him (a lot of DV jokes, anti-Semitic and misogynistic jokes) that he’s not a very empathetic person and that his sense of humor is very bro-ish and callous.

Does it say anything about him or the show or the writing that the Gawker network never posts clips from his show the night before? Seeing a Stewart (or Colbert) clip from a segment on their show was a regular thing here - watching an especially skewering report or one of them taking down an obnoxious guest a peg or…

This guy made fun of you for your handicap?

I just finished listening to this episode of “Denzel Washington Is The Greatest Actor Of All Time Period,” which brought on Alice Wong of the Disability Visibility Project to discuss “The Bone Collector.” She made a point that smacked me in the face like a 10-pound weight, but I’m sure it’s second-nature to disabled…

Considering those infamous tweets of his — and the snickering, juvenile tone he’s brought to the show — this surprises me not at all.

On the plus side, I’d just like to say you wrote that story masterfully. Perhaps you might consider setting some time aside to do more writing because as horrid as the experience in the story was, I found the story itself to be very engaging.

Shortly after he was confirmed as Jon Stewart’s replacement, people dug up some old tweets Noah had made.

I’m sure he would feel bad if he knew. I hope he does :)~

Exactly. People with disabilities can also be black, Hispanic, gay, transgender - anything at all - but they get NO protection from the Social Justice Warriors who are otherwise so quick to be outraged about any other perceived slight. Apparently it is still perfectly fine to call people ‘tards’.

I’ve only watched the show since he’s been on once, because someone I know was a guest on it. Noah was a condescending prick to him and I haven’t watched it since. He really does seem like a douchebag. I do hope he matures out of it at some point, but right now I agree with you that he’s a bully. Sorry you had to deal…

I haven’t forgotten that Noah had made sexist jokes and anti-Semitic jokes. He wasn’t properly vetted. He’s a nasty little kid with a big mouth and was handed the Daily Show on a silver platter. The show should have gone to Larry Wilmore.

I worked at a Domestic Violence shelter with children like him. I have stopped kids from shanking (sp?) their moms, helped them through nervous breakdowns, explained to them why the court gave visitations to their abusive fathers, helped illiterate moms learn to read...

I think what grinds my gears is being a DV victims advocate and that part of his story includes growing up around DV. Alot of focus in DV is the children so they grow up to be empathetic beings, not bullys, abusers, or people who make fun of the disabled.

Let’s see TDS put on a disabled correspondent. Disabled rights are civil rights. (God, I sound s0-don’t say it- so- don’t say it-special. I can poke fun at myself.)

Okay, Trevor Noah, you’ve earned two more weeks of me watching your show in hopes that it improves.
