I dunno. I could take Stewart --I understood him. I could not find appreciation in Colbert --not least of which is the weird way he says his last name (despite how his own family says it). John Oliver comes across as a prigish prick. At least Noah didn't bring that abrasiveness.

With Colbert, I at least got the impression that he liked the US and Americans. Did you feel otherwise?

Another impression I got from Stewart and Colbert was that they genuinely enjoyed their work.

Noah seemed disdainful of the US, and like he didn't want to be there.

It like that feeling when someone tells a joke that they don't think is funny, but expect you to laugh.
