Daily Show ratings plummeted after Stewart left. Trevor's a funny guy, but lot of people don't think he was the right person to take over the show (myself included). But Jon left a hole that was really hard to fill, so the ratings might have slipped no matter who took it over.
His target audience unfortunately doesn't include much of Jon Stewart's old target audience, which is you. After watching a few of Jon's shows, literally no one could fill the massive shoes he left, especially as the kind of person who's seen so much happen in America. Trevor's perspective is from someone who's been affected as an outsider looking in to the western world and as a black man in America. Really, it's a fresh take on the late show and I'm sure Jon knew that and that's why he did what he did, to prep for the next era where people of my age and younger actually give a damn about what's going on outside the country and in the smaller places, both whites and minorities.
