“Trevor makes us look smart on a daily basis and for that we’re grateful‚” said Comedy Central president‚ Kent Alterman.
“I’m thrilled to be continuing this amazing journey with both fans of The Daily Show and Comedy Central. It’s really exciting to renew this contract for either five more years or until Kim Jong Un annihilates us all–whichever one comes first.”
Trevor took over the reins of the hugely popular late night show in 2015 when previous host‚ Jon Stewart retired.
Despite initially receiving mixed responses from American critics‚ Trevor has won over the hearts of viewers in the past two years.
According to international reports‚ the show has experienced steady growth with Trevor in the driver’s seat.
TV By The Numbers‚ an American ratings agency reported that the show reached 1.6-million viewers in August which‚ compared to the same time last year‚ was up by 37%.
Noah walked away with his first Emmy this weekend at the award’s Creative Arts ceremony in LA‚ taking the top prize for his YouTube comedy special‚ The Daily Show: Between the Scenes.
The special won the Emmy for Best Short Form Variety Series‚ beating out Behind the Voice‚ Epic Rap Battles of History‚ Honest Trailers and The Star Wars Show.
Trevor was performing his stand up comedy show in Washington DC and was not in attendance at the ceremony to accept his award.
The win will be some comfort to Trevor and his team after they missed out on a nomination in the Best Variety Talk Series category at this year’s awards.
