“The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah lost his Democratic debate virginity this week and on Wednesday’s show, Noah and the Best F#@king News Team analyzed just who won.
And everything, according to the senior campaign correspondents, was coming up Hillary Clinton.
Roy Wood Jr. was at Sanders headquarters, but while supporters “like Bernie, he’s still a socialist Brooklyn grandpa. Everybody’s voting Hillary.”
Same in Maryland, Jessica Williams said.
“Yes, Martin O’Malley is a person who exists,” Williams said. “But first woman, president, like, how can they resist?”
Aasif Mandvi was at Lincoln Chafee Headquarters, which turned out to be Chafee’s lone supporter’s living room. “Jeff agrees with everything being said here,” Mandvi said. “Hillary all the way.”
Desi Lydic, who was at Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn, said the reaction to Clinton’s rave reviews was like a Chicago Cubs fan reacting to the team’s postseason run – “Oh my god, yay!”
The entire segment escalated rather quickly when senior campaign correspondent covering Jim Webb’s campaign, Jordan Klepper, threatened to detonate a grenade if Noah didn’t let him talk.
“After last night, Jim Webb supporters will also be voting for Hillary,” Klepper said.

In the internet echo chamber, which seems like it’s coming up Bernie all the time, I think a lot of Dems forget that there is a huge world of Democratic voters out there who think very differently.
I think Bernie did very well in the debate, and his numbers will improve. But I also think Hillary did equally well because she laid to rest a lot of the concerns people had of her going in. Her numbers will also improve by swinging a lot of the “Biden supporters” her way.
the Daily Show doesn’t make me laugh as much since Stewart left.
It’s sad. I can see why Amy Schumer turned it down. Who could follow an act like Jon Stewart?
I believe a good sitcom could actually come out of that debate:
Webb & Chafee: The Really Odd Couple
Picture it: ~The two main characters enter.~
Chafee: “Did you take my Sabra tomato hummus single serving? I had save it specially’ for my snack!”
Webb: “Just be glad you have good food. In Nam’ we ate worms and dirt!”
Chafee: “It was the last helping. That was so not nice…so plebeian.”
Webb: “Would you just be quiet. I’m watching the game. I killed a man once; don’t make me do it again.”
It took John years to get there. We should give Noah a little time.
