Did Trevor Noah steal a Dave Chappelle joke?

A joke The Daily Show host told over the weekend (and apparently over the summer) bares a striking resemblance to a Chappelle joke from the late-‘90s, according to Gawker. This isn’t the first time Noah has been accused of stealing jokes. Earlier this year, comedian Russell Peters accused Noah of being a joke-thievery, before saying he was just kidding.

Manhattan is much improved in Season 2

The second season of the WGN America series, says Maureen Ryan, “contains quite a bit of fruitful conflict and meaty character development, all of which amp up the show’s energy level and move it into much more compelling territory. Perhaps the best news about the second season is that it will consist of 10 episodes, down from 13 in Season 1. The meandering that cropped up in the first half of the first season is mostly gone, and the resulting tautness vibrates through the new season, as is only appropriate for a story that hinges on explosiveness.” PLUS: Manhattan needs to pick up the pace, and William Petersen helps up the sense of institutional madness.
