'After seven years, my time is up. In the most beautiful way. I've loved hosting this show,' Noah told viewers Noah, 38, who is from South Africa, took over in 2015 from Jon Stewart who began hosting the show in 1999 But viewing figures have plummeted since Stewart's tenure as the show appeared to alienate audiences

Comedian and talk show host Trevor Noah is leaving The Daily Show after seven years at the helm during which the late-night infotainment show's viewership declined dramatically.
Noah, 38, who hails from South Africa, took over the show from former host Jon Stewart in 2015.
Viewing figures were typically around 1.5 million for each episode during Stewart's tenure and rose as high as 2.5 million in 2013.
Nine years on, and viewing figures for the week of September 19-25 showed The Daily Show pulled in an audience of just 363,000, according to television and film ratings site ShowbuzzDaily.com - a drop partially attributed to the rising popularity of YouTube and streaming platforms versus legacy media, but also associated with the show's increasing political bias and perceived tilt towards embracing 'woke' ideology.

John Stewart had a pretty big political bias too. But at least he was actually funny.
Go woke go broke. I can’t even stand the commercials for that show.
I love doing the show. That is why I am leaving.
Makes sense.
The only people who thought he was funny were some stoners .... When he started his skin was lighter and he looked kinda white. Now he looks kinda black and lets his hair grow out black style. Let his beard and mustache grow out. But he ain’t no Talcum X.
Good riddance
“I love doing the show. That is why I am leaving.”
What’s his next job? I can’t see him moving on up. Maybe he was fired, and they let him say he quit for resume purposes.
So that will leave 363,000 more viewers amongst the other night hosts that nobody watches but the woke crowd.
“Increasing political bias?”
The daily show was always a far left leaning mush minded affair, from day one
His, until Trump got elected, was fairly light as well.
What the Marxists do is identify a so-called "oppressed" group, convince them that they are oppressed (i.e., turn them into loathsome, self-pitying little worms), and then deify them in the media and entertainment.
They are doing the same thing to the Black community.
Minorities need to realize they are being used to push an agenda that IS NOT in their best interest.
I’m sure wokeness hurts all comedians. But let’s face it: Trevor Noah just isn’t at all funny.
I never actually watched his show - but the little snippets I was forced to endure in his promotional pieces never once made me laugh - not even close.
They should run Three Stooges in his slot, an the Comedy Channel will get more viewers. Some old cartoons too, like Mighty Mouse and Bugs Bunny.
Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah. The idiots at the Chicken Noodle Network. Go woke, go broke.
He is a leftist race pimp with no cred.
I can still remember a scene where Curly is saying goodbye to inanimate things in his house. When he says 'Goodbye Chimney ' a hand comes out which he then shakes.
The News and Entertainment Businesses are not about News and they are not about Entertainment and they are not about Business. They just push the Narrative.
I do not think their money comes from advertisers. I think the money is Dark and Foreign and Government. Viewership doesn’t really matter much.
Getting played by African Marxists as well!
Neither he nor Jon Stuart Liebowitz (his real name) were ever funny.
At all.
Yep a raging liberal with TDS
