* CrossesTheLineTwice: One episode during the "guest host" era following Creator/TrevorNoah's departure hosted by Creator/LeslieJones, known for her HotBlooded persona, had her trying to keep her cool in the face of despairing news. She does pretty well after news stories about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s third-party run in the 2024 elections making him potentially a spoiler candidate and RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine conspiracy theories, but what ultimately sets her off (and intro a string of these) is video of RFK Jr. going barefoot on a plane -- more specifically, coming back from the bathroom.
-->'''Leslie Jones:''' This is the most disturbing video I have ever seen of a Kennedy -- ''and that includes [[UsefulNotes/ZapruderFilm the one where a guy's HEAD EXPLODES]]''! Like, how are you the worst Kennedy? [[UsefulNotes/TedKennedy Your uncle]] ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chappaquiddick_incident killed a lady by driving off a bridge]]''! But then I see your nasty feet... ''and I wish I was in that car''. […] Why was that plane even allowed to land? Where is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370#Crew_involvement the Malaysian pilot]] when you need him?

* MyRealDaddy: ''The Daily Show'' was originally started by Creator/CraigKilborn as a [[Series/SaturdayNightLive "Weekend Update"]]-style comedy show. But in 1999, Creator/JonStewart became its new host, and under his guidance, the show changed from a light parody of local news to a deep and incisive political satire, held in higher esteem than many mainstream news outlets. In 2015, Jon stepped down as host [[Series/TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah and was succeeded by]] Creator/TrevorNoah, [[ToughActToFollow who acknowledged in his pilot episode how important Jon was]] [[CallBack by using a "step-dad" metaphor similar to the one made in Jon's first show]].

** Trevor Noah received this reaction upon being chosen as Jon's successor in March 2015, the problem being that A. he's a very new correspondent who's been chosen over all the other, longer serving ones (partly because a lot of them have left the show), B. some finding his humor to be a little too reliant on race jokes, and C. some people just thinking he's not that funny, or at least not funny enough to succeed Jon.

He would eventually [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap get out of the Scrappy territory]], however, following his coverage of the 2016 election and the subsequent Trump presidency.

-->'''Trevor Noah:''' ''The Daily Show'' was based on an emerging 24 hour news cycle, that's everything it was, that's what inspired ''The Daily Show''. Now you look at news and it's changed. It's no longer predicated around 24 hour news. There are so many different choices. Half of it is online now. Now you've got the Gawkers, the Buzzfeeds.
