Even if the Daily Show audience might not be familiar with her, Lahren has her own audience that is all too eager to commiserate with her searing rancor.īut when she sat down at the Daily Show desk and Noah asked her why she’s “so angry,” she quickly brushed off that characterization. ![]() As Noah himself pointed out in September (see the above video), her “Final Thoughts” get millions upon millions of views.
