Trevor Noah’s shocking announcement that he’s leaving — nearly seven years after succeeding Jon Stewart on Comedy Central’s late-night franchise.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.“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 [sic] much about ratings though around his departure..”Another Twitter user chimed in, expressing the sentiment that, “Anyone who thinks Trevor Noah was anything but fired for low ratings is an idiot.”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.
