Trevor Noah Sets Date For ‘The Daily Show’ Exit
deadline.comTrevor Noah has set his exit date. The Daily Show host will end his time in the hot-seat on Thursday December 8. It comes after the comedian surprised everyone, including his Paramount Global boss Chris McCarthy and his colleagues, after announcing his departure during an afternoon taping on September 29.
Noah shocked late-night fans by announcing that he was leaving the Comedy Central series but it was clear that a plan hadn’t been formulated with no exit date announced last month.
That has finally been worked out and he’s now got a couple of months left hosting the show. The Daily Show will return in January on Tuesday January 17 with the company saying that “additional details” will be forthcoming.
Whether ViacomCBS will have found a permanent new host by then is unclear or whether one of his trusted correspondents – Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, Dulcé Sloan or Roy Wood Jr – will fill in until they name a new host.
