The Daily Shows Jaboukie Young-White is underwhelmed with Amazons announcement its locating half of its new HQ in Queens.
“Its worse than bad, its cliche!” Young-White sniffed. “Amazon has been around for 24 years and now theyre doing what any 24-year-old does: Move to New York and gentrify a neighborhood.”
“Do you have any idea how crowded the subway is going to get? Its already a non-consensual, clothes-on orgy,” he complained to Trevor Noah.
Amazon is promising to invest $2.5B into New York, but New York is giving Amazon $3B, they noted.
And those 25K jobs the 1/2 HQ will bring to town? “Those jobs arent going to locals – theyre bringing people in,” Young-White said.
“And dont think it wont affect you, Trevor,” he added. “Just wait until mayor tells you The Daily Show has to be hosted by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Young-White cautioned him.
“I actually like Mrs. Maisel,” Noah noted.
“Me too!” Young-White chimed in, smiling. “I havent seen it – but I love that it exists.”
