How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Trevor Noah\u2019s departure a case of leaving when the ovation is highest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years.

In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor
Noah performing in Sweden (Photo credit: Trevor Noah\/Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor
Noah performing in Sweden (Photo credit: Trevor Noah\/Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him.

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life.

The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell.

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic.

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host.

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard?

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell.

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor
Noah performing in Sweden (Photo credit: Trevor Noah\/Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell.

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic.

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell. They would later all become successful and widely known across the continent. You have not heard a hippier Jingle Bell<\/em> rendition than this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notifiers has their own version of the Drummer Boy<\/em> and it was more subtle compared to the one by Alex Boye. If you need something close to the original rendition of those Christmas classic, this would make a great feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>.

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor
Noah performing in Sweden (Photo credit: Trevor Noah\/Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor
Noah performing in Sweden (Photo credit: Trevor Noah\/Twitter)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a team of African artists unites on a single project, just know that magic is about to happen. The team took the popular \"We wish you a merry Christmas\" and turned it on its head albeit in a good way.

Proclaim brought a different type of energy to Marry did you know<\/em>.

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell.

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, African artists go out of their way to create something entirely different from the Christmas classics that we have known. This is what Mbuvi has done with Wasikuku. Regardless of being nothing like we know, you will still feel the outpouring of Christmas energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring.

Is Trevor Noah\u2019s departure a case of leaving when the ovation is highest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your best Africanized Christmas classic rendition?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The list of Africanized Christmas classics have grown over the last decade and it is almost impossible to keep up. So, we cannot in any way claim that this is an exhaustive list. However, the songs we have featured holds a special place in our hearts for one reason or the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proclaim brought a different type of energy to Marry did you know<\/em>. The group made up mostly of children and teenagers did not only render the song in a vibrant tone but also matched the energy with infectious dance steps. This is a Christmas classic that you will unconsciously leave on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notifiers has their own version of the Drummer Boy<\/em> and it was more subtle compared to the one by Alex Boye. If you need something close to the original rendition of those Christmas classic, this would make a great feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic.

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Trevor Noah\u2019s departure a case of leaving when the ovation is highest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the number of people involved in these Christmas songs, the outcome is usually the same. Monotony kills interest. If you have been struggling with keeping the Christmas spirit alive, changing your playlist with these Africanized Christmas classics can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#1 - O Holy Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Gerald poured out their heart into this one. The 5-minute-long African rendition of the popular O Holy Night<\/em> will leave you in chills. Bet you didn't know that O Holy Night<\/em> could sound so good in a local dialect. The video is just as sober and love-centric as the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=276SwGna648\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, African artists go out of their way to create something entirely different from the Christmas classics that we have known. This is what Mbuvi has done with Wasikuku. Regardless of being nothing like we know, you will still feel the outpouring of Christmas energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#3 - Christmas Song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Sonorous, Mo Eazy, Pearl & Ruby<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/36kyEtFs580\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a team of African artists unites on a single project, just know that magic is about to happen. The team took the popular \"We wish you a merry Christmas\" and turned it on its head albeit in a good way. The song reiterates some of the Christmas traditions that are popular with Christmas in Africa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#4 - Mary Did You Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the Christmas classics we know are rendered in a groovy or funky tone. However, Notifiers, a trio of female musicians decided to render theirs in a reggae tone. This song will move you to shake your body in ways you never imagined. Most importantly, it brings back memories from the good old days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Amos and Josh <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/NfskFp0T-yo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, inspired by the Notefliers, Amos and Jos decided to do their own version of the Mary did you know<\/em> almost entirely in their local dialect. What they also succeeded in doing is adding a hip vibe to the song. If you are looking for a Christmas song to include in your party's playlist, this will be a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Proclaim<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/z7ZIfABig58\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Proclaim brought a different type of energy to Marry did you know<\/em>.

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell. They would later all become successful and widely known across the continent. You have not heard a hippier Jingle Bell<\/em> rendition than this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#6 - Little Drummer Boy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Alex Boye<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a0mT-zNxRMw\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/qpAz0RLweZg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Notifiers has their own version of the Drummer Boy<\/em> and it was more subtle compared to the one by Alex Boye. If you need something close to the original rendition of those Christmas classic, this would make a great feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Various Artists (Africa)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDailyShow\/status\/1575664029162475521\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Trevor Noah\u2019s departure a case of leaving when the ovation is highest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the development of the tradition of rendering widely popular Christmas classics in native languages, African musicians have simply made magic with some of the popular Christmas songs that we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that songs associated with Christmas date back to the 4th century in Rome<\/a>. However, at that time virtually all the songs were rendered in Latin. The rendition of Christmas classics in other tongues is attributed to Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the development of the tradition of rendering widely popular Christmas classics in native languages, African musicians have simply made magic with some of the popular Christmas songs that we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the number of people involved in these Christmas songs, the outcome is usually the same. Monotony kills interest. If you have been struggling with keeping the Christmas spirit alive, changing your playlist with these Africanized Christmas classics can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bet you didn't know that O Holy Night<\/em> could sound so good in a local dialect. The video is just as sober and love-centric as the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, African artists go out of their way to create something entirely different from the Christmas classics that we have known. This is what Mbuvi has done with Wasikuku. Regardless of being nothing like we know, you will still feel the outpouring of Christmas energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Amos and Josh <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/NfskFp0T-yo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, inspired by the Notefliers, Amos and Jos decided to do their own version of the Mary did you know<\/em> almost entirely in their local dialect. What they also succeeded in doing is adding a hip vibe to the song. If you are looking for a Christmas song to include in your party's playlist, this will be a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Alex Boye<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a0mT-zNxRMw\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic.

They would later all become successful and widely known across the continent. You have not heard a hippier Jingle Bell<\/em> rendition than this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notifiers has their own version of the Drummer Boy<\/em> and it was more subtle compared to the one by Alex Boye. If you need something close to the original rendition of those Christmas classic, this would make a great feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sizalelwe Indodana presents a unique rendition of a South African Christmas song. Although the song was rendered entirely in local dialect, it was still able to flow with the traditional Christmas spirit. It is cool, vocal, and features unique musical instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#8 - 12 Days of Christmas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Various Artists (Africa)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silent Night is arguably the greatest Christmas Classic. It always sounds different when a Christmas song edition is done by children. Africa Children's Choir definitely brought their A-game on this one. Their voices are simply angelic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your best Africanized Christmas classic rendition?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The list of Africanized Christmas classics have grown over the last decade and it is almost impossible to keep up. So, we cannot in any way claim that this is an exhaustive list. However, the songs we have featured holds a special place in our hearts for one reason or the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Africanized Christmas classics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that songs associated with Christmas date back to the 4th century in Rome<\/a>. However, at that time virtually all the songs were rendered in Latin. The rendition of Christmas classics in other tongues is attributed to Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the development of the tradition of rendering widely popular Christmas classics in native languages, African musicians have simply made magic with some of the popular Christmas songs that we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the number of people involved in these Christmas songs, the outcome is usually the same. Monotony kills interest. If you have been struggling with keeping the Christmas spirit alive, changing your playlist with these Africanized Christmas classics can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#1 - O Holy Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Mtaze Paul and Nyiti Gerald<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/QSWpoHUs4-Q\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Gerald poured out their heart into this one. The 5-minute-long African rendition of the popular O Holy Night<\/em> will leave you in chills. Bet you didn't know that O Holy Night<\/em> could sound so good in a local dialect. The video is just as sober and love-centric as the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#2 - Christmas The African Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Mbuvi - Wasikuku<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=276SwGna648\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, African artists go out of their way to create something entirely different from the Christmas classics that we have known. This is what Mbuvi has done with Wasikuku. Regardless of being nothing like we know, you will still feel the outpouring of Christmas energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#3 - Christmas Song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Sonorous, Mo Eazy, Pearl & Ruby<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/36kyEtFs580\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a team of African artists unites on a single project, just know that magic is about to happen. The team took the popular \"We wish you a merry Christmas\" and turned it on its head albeit in a good way. The song reiterates some of the Christmas traditions that are popular with Christmas in Africa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#4 - Mary Did You Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9MF89JXY9b4\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the Christmas classics we know are rendered in a groovy or funky tone. However, Notifiers, a trio of female musicians decided to render theirs in a reggae tone. This song will move you to shake your body in ways you never imagined. Most importantly, it brings back memories from the good old days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Amos and Josh <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/NfskFp0T-yo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, inspired by the Notefliers, Amos and Jos decided to do their own version of the Mary did you know<\/em> almost entirely in their local dialect. What they also succeeded in doing is adding a hip vibe to the song. If you are looking for a Christmas song to include in your party's playlist, this will be a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Proclaim<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/z7ZIfABig58\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Proclaim brought a different type of energy to Marry did you know<\/em>. The group made up mostly of children and teenagers did not only render the song in a vibrant tone but also matched the energy with infectious dance steps. This is a Christmas classic that you will unconsciously leave on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that songs associated with Christmas date back to the 4th century in Rome<\/a>. However, at that time virtually all the songs were rendered in Latin. The rendition of Christmas classics in other tongues is attributed to Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the development of the tradition of rendering widely popular Christmas classics in native languages, African musicians have simply made magic with some of the popular Christmas songs that we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the number of people involved in these Christmas songs, the outcome is usually the same. Monotony kills interest. If you have been struggling with keeping the Christmas spirit alive, changing your playlist with these Africanized Christmas classics can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#1 - O Holy Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Gerald poured out their heart into this one. The 5-minute-long African rendition of the popular O Holy Night<\/em> will leave you in chills. Bet you didn't know that O Holy Night<\/em> could sound so good in a local dialect. The video is just as sober and love-centric as the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=276SwGna648\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, African artists go out of their way to create something entirely different from the Christmas classics that we have known. This is what Mbuvi has done with Wasikuku. Regardless of being nothing like we know, you will still feel the outpouring of Christmas energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#3 - Christmas Song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Sonorous, Mo Eazy, Pearl & Ruby<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/36kyEtFs580\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a team of African artists unites on a single project, just know that magic is about to happen. The team took the popular \"We wish you a merry Christmas\" and turned it on its head albeit in a good way. The song reiterates some of the Christmas traditions that are popular with Christmas in Africa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#4 - Mary Did You Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9MF89JXY9b4\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This song will move you to shake your body in ways you never imagined. Most importantly, it brings back memories from the good old days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Amos and Josh <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/NfskFp0T-yo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, inspired by the Notefliers, Amos and Jos decided to do their own version of the Mary did you know<\/em> almost entirely in their local dialect. What they also succeeded in doing is adding a hip vibe to the song. If you are looking for a Christmas song to include in your party's playlist, this will be a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Proclaim<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/z7ZIfABig58\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Proclaim brought a different type of energy to Marry did you know<\/em>.

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/qpAz0RLweZg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/TheDailyShow\/status\/1575664029162475521\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Trevor Noah\u2019s departure a case of leaving when the ovation is highest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than listen to the old Christmas playlist why not try the Africanized versions of your Christmas favorites? We have compiled a list of 9 Christmas classics that have been Africanized. So tell us, which one is your favorite?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is believed that songs associated with Christmas date back to the 4th century in Rome<\/a>. However, at that time virtually all the songs were rendered in Latin. The rendition of Christmas classics in other tongues is attributed to Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the development of the tradition of rendering widely popular Christmas classics in native languages, African musicians have simply made magic with some of the popular Christmas songs that we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the number of people involved in these Christmas songs, the outcome is usually the same. Monotony kills interest. If you have been struggling with keeping the Christmas spirit alive, changing your playlist with these Africanized Christmas classics can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#1 - O Holy Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Mtaze Paul and Nyiti Gerald<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/QSWpoHUs4-Q\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Gerald poured out their heart into this one. The 5-minute-long African rendition of the popular O Holy Night<\/em> will leave you in chills. Bet you didn't know that O Holy Night<\/em> could sound so good in a local dialect. The video is just as sober and love-centric as the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#2 - Christmas The African Way<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Mbuvi - Wasikuku<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=276SwGna648\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, African artists go out of their way to create something entirely different from the Christmas classics that we have known. This is what Mbuvi has done with Wasikuku. Regardless of being nothing like we know, you will still feel the outpouring of Christmas energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#3 - Christmas Song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

by Sonorous, Mo Eazy, Pearl & Ruby<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/36kyEtFs580\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When a team of African artists unites on a single project, just know that magic is about to happen. The team took the popular \"We wish you a merry Christmas\" and turned it on its head albeit in a good way. The song reiterates some of the Christmas traditions that are popular with Christmas in Africa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#4 - Mary Did You Know<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9MF89JXY9b4\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the Christmas classics we know are rendered in a groovy or funky tone. However, Notifiers, a trio of female musicians decided to render theirs in a reggae tone. This song will move you to shake your body in ways you never imagined. Most importantly, it brings back memories from the good old days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Amos and Josh <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/NfskFp0T-yo\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, inspired by the Notefliers, Amos and Jos decided to do their own version of the Mary did you know<\/em> almost entirely in their local dialect. What they also succeeded in doing is adding a hip vibe to the song. If you are looking for a Christmas song to include in your party's playlist, this will be a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Proclaim<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/z7ZIfABig58\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Proclaim brought a different type of energy to Marry did you know<\/em>. The group made up mostly of children and teenagers did not only render the song in a vibrant tone but also matched the energy with infectious dance steps. This is a Christmas classic that you will unconsciously leave on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell. They would later all become successful and widely known across the continent. You have not heard a hippier Jingle Bell<\/em> rendition than this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#6 - Little Drummer Boy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Alex Boye<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a0mT-zNxRMw\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Notifiers<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/qpAz0RLweZg\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Notifiers has their own version of the Drummer Boy<\/em> and it was more subtle compared to the one by Alex Boye. If you need something close to the original rendition of those Christmas classic, this would make a great feat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Song#7 - A South African Christmas Song<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/xIGcovYShEw\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By Various Artists (Africa)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=f5K4qKoCFqw\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a team of African artists unites on a single project, just know that magic is about to happen. The team took the popular \"We wish you a merry Christmas\" and turned it on its head albeit in a good way. The song reiterates some of the Christmas traditions that are popular with Christmas in Africa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of the Christmas classics we know are rendered in a groovy or funky tone. However, Notifiers, a trio of female musicians decided to render theirs in a reggae tone.

Perhaps, inspired by the Notefliers, Amos and Jos decided to do their own version of the Mary did you know<\/em> almost entirely in their local dialect. What they also succeeded in doing is adding a hip vibe to the song. If you are looking for a Christmas song to include in your party's playlist, this will be a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a Christmas classic that you will unconsciously leave on repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Success is predictable and follows a particular pattern. While they were still young, these musicians teamed up for a remake of the jingle bell. They would later all become successful and widely known across the continent. You have not heard a hippier Jingle Bell<\/em> rendition than this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Boye teamed up with Genesis Choir for a tribal version of the Drummer Boy<\/em>. It was not just called the tribal version because of its rendition, the video also has a flamboyant display of African fabrics and drum. It is one of the Chrismas classics that you will be glad it was Africanized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coke Studio was able to bring different African artists together for an African rendition of the popular 12 Days of Christmas classic. Obviously, some of the things mentioned in the original version can hardly be found in Africa. So, the artists replaced them with things that are popularly found in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans and the audience of The Daily Show were treated to a huge surprise on 29 September 2022 when the long-time host Trevor Noah announced that he would step down as the host. However, Comedy Central is yet to announce when his last show will be. Talking about his retirement from the show Noah said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026it has been seven years since we started The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. When we first started, so many people didn\u2019t believe in us. It was a crazy bet to make\u2014I still think it was a crazy choice. I realized that after seven years, my time is up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a shocked but muffled response at the revelation from the audience. Trevor Noah described his time as the host of the show as one of his greatest challenges and joys and did not hold back his gratitude to the audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trevor Noah did not stop at announcing his retirement from The Daily Show. He also gave his audience a hint at what life after the show would be for him. According to him, there was the other part of his life that he discovered while locked in his home during the pandemic\u2014and would want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI spent two years in my apartment, not on the road. When I got back out there again, I realized that there was another part of my life I want to carry on exploring. I miss learning all the languages, I missed going to other countries and putting on a show. I miss being everywhere doing everything.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Trevor Noah\u2019s departure a case of leaving when the ovation is highest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trevor

On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still a host at The Daily Show, Trevor Noah had a thriving career exploring other creative aspects of his life. His memoir, \u2018Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood<\/a>\u2019 released in 2016 went on to become a bestseller. The memoir is now on its way to a film adaptation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are already speculations on who will take over from Trevor Noah on The Daily Show. Many believe that his successor is someone that is already on our television screens. Fingers are already pointing at Snooki, Ruffin, and Amber to succeed the 38-year-old South African.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Comedy Central team has put a lid on who would succeed Trevor Noah. A statement credited to a Comedy Central spokesman and published by the Hollywood Reporter on Oct. 2 read,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correspondents that are currently with The Daily Show are Roy Wood Jr. Ronny Chieng, Dulce Sloan, Desi Lydic, and Michael Kosta.

    It's the season of good tidings, Christmas classics, and gift exchange. As the year comes to a close, there are some standard classics that are guaranteed to grace the airwaves. A popular bon mot said, \"music is the food for the soul\". <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Rather than listen to the old Christmas playlist why not try the Africanized versions of your Christmas favorites? We have compiled a list of 9 Christmas classics that have been Africanized. So tell us, which one is your favorite?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It is believed that songs associated with Christmas date back to the 4th century in Rome<\/a>. However, at that time virtually all the songs were rendered in Latin. The rendition of Christmas classics in other tongues is attributed to Francis of Assisi in the 13th century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since the development of the tradition of rendering widely popular Christmas classics in native languages, African musicians have simply made magic with some of the popular Christmas songs that we know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It sort of hits differently listening to the song we used to know growing up being peppered in some cases with local accents and verses. Some of these Africanized Christmas classics have either been done by a solo artist or by a group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Regardless of the number of people involved in these Christmas songs, the outcome is usually the same. Monotony kills interest. If you have been struggling with keeping the Christmas spirit alive, changing your playlist with these Africanized Christmas classics can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Christmas Song#1 - O Holy Night<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/QSWpoHUs4-Q\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Paul and Gerald poured out their heart into this one. The 5-minute-long African rendition of the popular O Holy Night<\/em> will leave you in chills. Bet you didn't know that O Holy Night<\/em> could sound so good in a local dialect. The video is just as sober and love-centric as the song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While Trevor Noah tried to explain the reason for his departure in his Sept. 29 monologue, many think there is much more to his resignation than trying to find personal fulfillment. One argument that resonated is that the viewer numbers were against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How have viewers reacted to The Daily Show since Noah got onboard? Trevor Noah took over as the host of The Daily Show in 2015 after the departure of the former host Jon Stewart who was at the helm of the show for 15 years. The Daily Show airs on Comedy Central on weekdays at 11 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On his opening show, Noah pulled in 1.1 million viewers<\/a>. In early 2017 under Noah, the show\u2019s rating reached 1.5 million. In comparison, Jon Stewart pulled 2.5 million viewers in 2015 which was also his last year on the show. In 2022, only about 200,000 people were watching The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, the figures were not all gloomy with Trevor Noah. Throughout The Daily Show\u2019s history, the show had the most diverse viewers under Noah. Steward ended with 75,000 Black viewers per night. At his peak, Noah had 87,000 Black viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, about 74% of Noah\u2019s viewers were 18 and 49 years old. This shows that Noah appealed to a younger audience. Others also argue that his large young audience was also why The Daily Show viewership plummeted as most of the young audience are now turning to shorter comedy clips online. So, will he be really missed with the figures stacked against him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Also, he was the host of the 2021 and 2022 Grammy Awards. Later in April 2022, he made headlines once again for the White House correspondents\u2019 dinner<\/a>. His October 1 and 2, 2022 \u2018Back To Abnormal World Tour\u2019 in Canada was sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
