(03/30/16 11:44pm)
Hello, world: This is your Alligator opinions editor, David, chiming in on Trevor Noah’s set.

And secondly, as with any relationship, be it boyfriend and girlfriend, spouse and spouse, newspaper and audience — you know, the truest of romances — a little spontaneity and new energy can be revitalizing. So, without further ado: How about that Trevor Noah set?
