Noah assumed “The Daily Show” anchor desk on Sept. As we look ahead, we’re excited for the next chapter in the 25+ year history of ‘The Daily Show’ as it continues to redefine culture through sharp and hilarious social commentary, helping audiences make sense of the world around them.” “With no timetable for his departure, we’re working together on next steps. “We are grateful to Trevor for our amazing partnership over the past seven years,” a Comedy Central spokesperson said in a statement to The Post. “It was imperative for Trevor to share this news directly … as he wanted to hear it from him first,” an insider said. Trevor Noah leaving ‘Daily Show’ after seven years as host Comedy Central Jon Stewart, seen here on “The Daily Show,” generated much higher viewership on the late-night Comedy Central show than his successor Trevor Noah. Trevor Noah announced he’s leaving “The Daily Show” during the taping of Thursday night’s show. During Noah’s tenure, it was initially averaging a bit north of 800,000 nightly viewers - but has since lost a chunk of its audience and has fallen below the 400,000 mark at times. Noah’s numbers have been lower than Stewart’s, with a few exceptions (the 2016 election season helped spike his viewership) - both in the younger demo and total viewers - since he assumed the “Daily Show” anchor desk.Īt its peak, in 2013, with Stewart at the helm, “The Daily Show” averaged 2.5 million nightly viewers. “Let’s tell the truth here, #TrevorNoah is leaving the #DailyShow because the show can barely muster 400K viewers less than 1/3 of its viewership from 2015,” read one tweet after Noah announced his news, continuing: “… something tells me you won’t here much about ratings though around his departure.”Īnother Twitter user chimed in, expressing the sentiment that, “Anyone who thinks Trevor Noah was anything but fired for low ratings is an idiot.” Noah, 38, has been working with Comedy Central “for a long time” to figure out how he could maintain the grueling late-night pace, insiders told The Post - while the Internet was abuzz with theories that his sudden departure is due to the cable show’s ratings. “The Daily Show” will soldier on following Trevor Noah’s shocking announcement that he’s leaving - nearly seven years after succeeding Jon Stewart on Comedy Central’s late-night franchise. Nobody watched Trevor Noah - and no one will watch his unfunny liberal replacement either Megyn Kelly has some words for ‘ratings killer’ Trevor Noah and ‘The Daily Show’ Trevor Noah sets date for ‘Daily Show’ departure Trevor Noah reveals ‘saddest’ part of Herschel Walker’s fake badge fiasco
