Obama has never said anything gross, creepy or remotely inappropriate about his daughters. So a joke about it just wouldn't be funny.
Trevor Noah is funny. Like you, I prefer Jon Stewart as the host of The Daily Show any day, but Noah isn't that bad. I don't watch the show as often as I watched the show when hosted by Stewart.
If you want a good replacement, try This Week Tonight with John Oliver, or Full Frontal with Sandra Bee. Both extremely funny, and both in a better format than The Daily Show.

Firstly; with the Obama comparison i meant a joke on that same level. For example: Let's say Obama is on a picture with his dad, when Obama bends over to tie his shoe making it look like fellatio with his father.
Noah would NEVER make a joke grabbing a situation like that and saying "Obama likes to suck his dads cock." He would never say something like that about Obama, never. Because the shows' agenda is not pushing that, they treat Obama constantly with respect, while blatantly hating and insulting Trump that he fucks his daughter. If it's really comedy, then treat everyone the same. Not happening.
And those other shows - i've seen both. It's the same one sided agenda they push, labeled as comedy. Brexit? Bad, fact that EU is as democratic as North Korea gets ignored and completely twisted for brainwash purposes. Trump? Bad. Obama? Good.
Oh, and gender neutral toilets, comedy gold on its own already, and THE proof that our society has completely lost it, and ... It's supported by Noah (his bosses). With his serious smug face pleading for this completely ridiculous non-issue. And that's the host of a comedy show.
It's pure propaganda, and the "comedy" is just an excuse to push it to an audience who really believe it is 'just comedy'. This disarms them, and opens their mind up to absorb the propaganda, more than debates or news shows. It's a brilliant, but very, very dirty technique and I am surprised it still isn't as obvious to so many people. I noticed it instantly, the moment i saw it.
Real comedy has no agenda. Norm McDonalds podcasts on youtube, now THAT is comedy. No dirty, underhand political agendas, just dry, crazy and funny jokes. Hilarious. Or the funniest comedy tv show in my opinion, Seinfeld: Also no agenda other than just being funny.
