Agreed - solid start, and I liked Noah better than I thought I would. Aside from the content of the jokes, the format was indistinguishable from Stewart - that was the point of this first episode I suppose, that change will come gradually, as Stewart himself introduced some of his unique bits over time. Noah had said he would be making fun of online news more than TV news, but his first bit used a clip from NBC, not buzzfeed.
