Pretty mediocre. I like Noah, and he has some really good correspondents. Hasan Minaj, Jordan Klepper, Roy Wood Jr and and Ronny Chieng are all great.
I think the issue with Noah himself is he doesn't have the history with the country to really seem that visceral about anything, which was one of Stewarts best parts. When he really went after something, he went at it hard. Noah kind of just makes the jokes but you can really feel that he doesn't/hasn't lived it. He feels more like a news anchor that makes jokes than a "voice" like Stewart was and like Colbert and Oliver have become.
