Well, she's smashing these segments written by other writers, but would she be well-read enough to tackle an interview with an intellectual, like Jon and Trevor did regularly? I don't think so. Leslie is just a screamer, popular with the unwashed masses. She's no interviewer.

She's way too crude (more than Samantha Bee) to be the long-term host for this show.

[@moreofawave]

I like her but the 'bird p***y' thing...I don't know about that for this show. it's supposed to be a news show-yes, an entertaining one but this is too much for the Daily Show.

[@altruisticdiscovery]

@@moreofawave I agree with your assessment! Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah knew perfectly well how to keep the right balance of smart comedy and critical thought without having to only resort to crass for the entire sequence just to get a laugh or get their point across. That's what made the Daily Show so special compared to a lot of other shows.

You should go back and watch her guest appearances on weekend update on SNL. They let her do pretty much this on weekend update except she had great banter with Colin Jost.
