Noah has a much different approach to The Daily Show than Stewart did, which is more than likely why he received the job in the first place....

Barry season 3 hit HBO Max at the end of last month like a lightning bolt, shocking viewers with the same psychologically horrifying drama, overwhelming talent, and unbridled meta hilarity after a long, pandemic-fueled three-year hiatus. Barry season 3 seems to be adhering to a trend where each episode is titled after seemingly irrelevant but thematically revealing lines or objects by the end of the half-hour. For example, the first episode, “Forgiving Jeff,” refers to when Barry, played by the brilliant Bill Hader, yells, “There is no forgiving Jeff” after executing two clients on a remote California hillside in the first minute of the episode....
