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.

That dynamic could play a role in how executives at Comedy Central choose to proceed.

Who Should Replace Trevor Noah? 4 Possible New 'Daily Show ... (Forbes)

The current 'Daily Show' host announced he is leaving, sparking speculation over who will fill the chair. The possibilities include two current and one ...

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). Also a current Daily Show correspondent, Wood has exceptional reporting skills, honed from a background in journalism during college and beyond, and a fantastic delivery style.

(And bonus points if her executive producer, Jenny Hagel, were to come with Ruffin to Comedy Central—they often appear in segments with Meyers, and they make a fantastic team.) 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.

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.

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.

He translated this appeal to platforms beyond “The Daily Show” too, turning in one of He also cited former South African president Jacob Zuma, who presented himself as a man of the people, an anti-establishment agent of change, a beacon of truth amid a dishonest media, and a litigious figure who was stacking the courts with his own people. 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.
