. >> trevor noah on "the daily show" this weekend. our latest poll shows he's on to something. 57% of voters are dissatisfied with the choice between clinton and trump. is tt or gary johnson? only 35% of people said they were considering voting for a third party candidate. 60% said they worried that that would elect the conditioned they like the least. we'll take that fear to dr. stein, coming up. and i want to enjoy every moment of it. that's why i use fast-acting excedrin for my headaches. just 15 minutes. excedrin specializes in treating headaches. which is why moments lost to headaches are moments gained with excedrin.

trevor noah is drawing little attention, his daily show down about 4% in the ratings, and larry wilmore's was drawing less than half of colbert's ratings, and they pulled the plug. >> i'm your host for the next well, 29:31. >> kimer serafin is with us. can you say that was -- what's the right word, a failure? >> it's very hard to replace john stewart, and stephen colbert. such a high bar, and whether you like him from the left or the right or you continue, he had good ratings. >> forget about that. i think it's not working because they are not talked about or quoted their clips don't get much traction online, and they are not part of the conversation. wilmore told fast company that race, not the easiest subject to make jokes about. we tried our best. you have to find ways to be funny about it. >> it was so much about race. and john stewart, if you didn't like the criticism towards the right, he took aim at other people as well. >> occasionally. >> he did that famous thing when he went after cnn for the coverage of the plane. you could find something you liked about it. even wibill o'reill
