Trevor Noah to Exit 'Daily Show' After Seven Years (Variety)

Trevor Noah plans to exit Comedy Central's 'Daily Show' after a seven-year tenure, creating a new opening in late night.

Comedy Central has also [been working with Charlamagne Tha God](https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/charlamagne-tha-god-late-night-tv-1235129874/) on a weekly showcase that mixes comedy, commentary and news. And the analogy I use is trying to learn how to fly a plane while the plane is flying. [after parting ways with Lilly Singh in 2021.](https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/lilly-singh-nbc-cancel-little-late-1234968098/) [TV’s late-night roster has begun to shrink](https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/trevor-noah-daily-show-return-late-night-tv-1235063095/). You step into this new role and you’re doing a new job and most of the first year was just trying to stay afloat, just trying not to get canceled and trying to find my footing. That dynamic could play a role in how executives at Comedy Central choose to proceed. Noah has worked intensely to make the program his own, holding court with various media influencers after hours, and devising new “Daily” formats. That program, which draws a different audience than Comedy Central’s, has seen growth in the time period. Discovery, [executives have scuttled late-night shows led by both Samantha Bee and Conan O’Brien](https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/samantha-bee-canceled-full-frontal-1235324772/), and have made no efforts to replace either. James Corden has already indicated he plans [to step down from CBS’ “The Late Late Show”](https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/james-corden-replacement-late-night-1235285678/) next year, and NBC is no longer in the business of airing comedy programming at 1:30 a.m. With no timetable for his departure, we’re working together on next steps,” the network said in a statement. Noah revealed his plans to an audience at Thursday evening’s taping of the program in New York, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Bee is well-connected, well-respected and a former member of the Comedy Central family, which makes her a likely choice to succeed Noah (and the network will be under pressure to choose a woman, because of the current dearth in late night).

Chieng would be the first Asian late night host on a major network. Occupying one of the premier spots in late night, Noah’s influence has gone far beyond ratings, which are modest by television standards.

Trevor Noah Is Leaving 'The Daily Show' After 7 Years (Collider.com)

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has been one of the funniest shows on television since comedian Trevor Noah took over for Jon Stewart in 2015.

The only saving grace of this news is there is no date or timetable for when Noah will be leaving the show. You can also stream The Daily Show on Paramount+ or watch it on weeknights on Comedy Central at 11 PM EST. For now, Noah is still the host for the near future, but as we get closer to the end of the year we should have more details like who would be replacing him. However, despite all the odds and naysayers, Noah always found a way to knock it out of the park with his own unique brand of comedy. Between the insanity of the Trump presidency and the pandemic, Noah had some tough subjects to work through, and it didn’t help that he was following up Stewart who was so beloved among the late show community. Noah was the kind of fearless comedian that wasn’t afraid to get human and personal.

And from my spot in the room, he scored tremendously, relying on a quick wit and ready charm to leaven even his sharpest jabs. In the traditional showbiz world, one possible next step for Noah would be a network TV gig, offering a bigger paycheck, wider audience and greater exposure. Since ABC's host Jimmy Kimmel just re-upped for three more years and all the top dog late night hosts are relatively young, taking Corden's gig might require Noah to wait an awfully long while for his shot at the big job. He managed to sound even-handed while chiding us American journalists to produce work worthy of the press freedoms we have. He had to tell jokes sharp enough to resonate with his savvy audience of journalists and politicos, but not so cutting that they seemed nasty or ill-intentioned.

Then as now, clues to our own future lay in the oft-dismissed “third world” to which Noah was so attuned.

He’d only been in the seat a year when Trump won the presidency; he pivoted to streaming the show from home, in a black hoodie, during the pandemic. He took on race-baiter Tomi Lahren with ease and offered a powerful lens on the murder of George Floyd and the protests that followed — not least because his own life had been shaped by apartheid. What’s up with the reparation efforts around Europe’s stolen African art (or, as Noah put it, antiquities that were “borrowed by force”)? “I’ve loved trying to find a way to make people laugh, even when the stories are particularly s—, even on the worst days,” he told the audience at Thursday’s “Daily Show” taping. His used this contemporary cachet to expose “Daily Show” viewers to comparatively stuffy news that “they might otherwise find boring.” In a recurring segment, “If You Don’t Know, Now You Do,” he answered questions that weren’t even being asked by most Americans, and moved under-covered topics from the deep freeze onto TV’s front burner: Why does China want to take over Uganda’s only international airport? By connecting us with the rest of the world during an incredibly fraught time in American politics, the comedian reminded his audience that we weren’t the first to experience such upheaval, and we weren’t alone. He thanked Comedy Central for believing in “this random comedian nobody knew on this side of the world.” “To buy into an idea that never bought into theirs.” “I spent two years in my apartment, not on the road, and when I got back out there, I realized there’s another part of my life out there that I want to carry on exploring.

I hope that the show continues to recognise the importance of diversity. It is vital that TV satire shows continue to highlight and critique political and social issues. American late-night comedy has become a highly saturated space with lots of different programmes vying for the attention of audiences who are leaving TV in favour of digital platforms. The appeal of successful satirists like him is that they are on the audiences’ side, they articulate citizen concerns and anger on a public stage but in a funny and compelling way. These unique perspectives have caught the attention of a younger and more diverse global audience that have been introduced to The Daily Show via Noah. The American late-night comedy scene is very male, white, and American.
