” from Jon Stewart went better than anyone might have hoped, both in keeping the series alive and in boosting Noah’s own profile: As Noah prepares to leave, with his final broadcast slated for Dec. 8, he looks like a person with unlimited potential and “The Daily Show” looks like a show that survived a now-complete reinvention. It also helped, a bit, in covering for the increasing weakness of

; it’s unsurprising that they turned it down, but perhaps a little unexpected that the show was as successful as it was at creating a star. Noah’s coolly conveyed outsider’s perspective as a South African-born political observer seemed surprising and refreshing after Stewart’s incredulity had curdled a bit; his winning and engaging personal story of growing up mixed-race in South Africa made memoir “Born a Crime,” published a year into his job, a major bestseller.

But what a face! Noah’s arrival on the scene felt seamless, thanks in part to his special and unique gift of self-assurance. He’d been a correspondent for “The Daily Show” for a short time prior to being announced as the host, but was hardly a familiar name.

😆 🤣

He ruined the show. He sucks. Numbers don't lie, the media does.

You apparently are a denier of basic English and most likely live in a fantasy land. You can’t lose 3x your audience since taking over a show and then claim that person was a “success”

1.3 million viewers to 350k Seems like a loser to me

He RUINED IT LOL

Well that is a lie

Hire Ricky Gervais.

Are you kidding? He lost 3/4 of the audience during his tenure.

It was dying with Noah

Clownworld 🤡

Who is Trevor Noah?

He drove that straight into the dirt. He stinks on ice.

he lost about 2/3 of his viewers over his tenure.... maybe the question is 'could TDS survive WITH him'

Superstar who plummeted the ratings and viewership

A 'Super Star' that managed to shed more that 1 million viewers. You clowns are hilarious.

Hahahah!

Superstar! Really.... LOL.

that's hilarious

He totally Un funny

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The guy that lost 75% of the show’s audience? Clown world.

He killed The Daily shows ratings

Superstar? Why embarrass yourselves. This guy was a hack.

LOL wut, did literally Trevor Noah write this

'Superstar' he lost The Daily Show a million viewers.

Hey everyone look, a Superstar means getting 25% of the previous ratings.

If it survived him, it can presumably survive anything.

Most people are allowed around a random Costco are funnier than this guy. And he has a team of writers!

If you lose a million viewers and are left with 350K that makes you a superstar?

Superstar?

Nah. He pretty much destroyed it.

He’s the one who killed it. 😂😂😂

A superstar and their show is on the ropes? Why not? We are changing definitions for everything.

Seeing as it was flying high when he arrived and then started crashing and burning while he was there, I think they'll be alright.

That's funny keep gas lighting wasn't even bringing in 500,000 viewers a night

sOOpErSTaR

Don’t think so. One thing is for certain, he decimated a show. 👇

A superstar?

“Super star” f’ng hilarious. Something he never was.

he's a bad dude! By bad I mean not a good person.

if he were a superstar wouldn’t he still be there?

Meanwhile real funny people like JAY PHAROAH get no show, no films, man... i don't understand that

Who?

Superstar?

Superstar, eh! 🧐

He was no superstar. He was a Jew-hater.

Yeah, he’s not a superstar. He’s a medium talent who never lived up to Jon Stewart.

Superstar indeed 😤

Incredible run he had on the show 👏

Superstar?
