On Wednesday, Trevor Noah hit his seventh anniversary as host of "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah." We're all a little lax in keeping track of time these days, so Noah's mention at the top of Thursday night's episode that "Daily Show" correspondent Roy Wood Jr. had to remind him of the milestone didn't seem remarkable.
This forgets how masterful Noah is in wielding a conversational tone before depressing the brake, gently but assuredly, to arrive at punchlines or conclusions that aren't always easy to hear.
