Trevor Noah QUITS The Daily Show after 'wokery' saw viewing figures slump to around 363,000 a show - seven years after taking over from Jon Stewart who routinely pulled in audience of 1.5m Trevor Noah plans to leave The Daily Show, the flagship Comedy Central series after seven years as host

'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

It was not immediately clear when Noah's exit would take place as he is still 'figuring it out' Noah's exit announcement comes after he was spied hanging out in New York's East Village with Dua Lipa Daily Show host sparked rumors he's dating the popstar 11 years his junior as they shared dinner and a smooch

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.

Carson was on from 1962 to 1992. There wre vastly more than 3 TV channels then.
And a much smaller population too.
Just look at Tucker Carlson's great ratings today.
And Carlson is only on cable.

If Noah Cyrus married Trevor Noah, she’d be Noah Noah.

If Dolly Parton married Salvadore Dali.....she'd be Dolly Dali.

I know someone who works for MTV. His job is to monitor the video feeds for late night programming on cable. He says that Trevor guy has had absolutely no viewership for years. Only reason for him still on the air is one reason.

Noah - the king of smug, superior racist wokery. Too bad, when he was just doing standup he was quite witty.

I can guess that reason. Actually two. Black and foreign born and from....tada!.... South Africa aka Wakanda. Where blacks defeated white racist rule. (to make it into a shthole and this is why TN lives in America / and he ain’t going back)

1.5m, 363k -- neither amount matters for sh!t. The only thing that Stewart had was his cohort moron demographic = ad money.

Speaking of the sh!t heap, at the top of the pile, Young Sheldon doesn't even pull 10M (and that includes DVR time-shifting for a full week). Gutfeld just 2m a night.

If people genuinely understood how few people actually watch any of this garbage, you'd get a much better sense of a nation that makes better use of its time, other than a minority of a minority being dumped on nightly by Hollywood.

I find it interesting that many Jews in showbiz such as Leibowitz (sp?) change (at least) their last name to something more ‘mainstream America’.

I’ve only watched a few clips of that leftist, and found his dogface facial expression to be boring.

I always thought it was stupid Coal-bert changed the pronunciation of his last name. What a tool.

Was his show really comedy? Maybe it was just a place to hang out, especially during the lockdown, and what some people value now is just a comfortable “safe space” where they won’t be threatened or challenged.

Basically the Whoopi Goldberg kind of comedy....
