SUPERSIZED EPISODES BEGIN TONIGHT, MONDAY, APRIL 27TH, AND AIR WEEKNIGHTS AT 11:00 PM ET/PT
The show has been the first late-night stop for high profile guests including New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Dr. Anthony Fauci
As The Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah enters its sixth week of hugely successful remote shows, Comedy Central’s stalwart late-night franchise announces an unprecedented format shift. For the first time in its 24-year history, The Daily Show will lengthen its episodes to 45 minutes starting tonight, Monday, April 27th, and airing weeknights, Monday through Thursday at 11PM ET/PT on Comedy Central.
The news of supersized Daily Show episodes comes at a moment in time when viewers are heading to host Trevor Noah, not just for satire and escapism, but also for an honest point of view and as a source of trustworthy information. Continuing to build on its prior momentum, Comedy Central and The Daily Show have seen significant linear ratings success, digital gains and highly sought-after bookings as audiences find comfort in comedy programming.
Last week, Noah scored New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s first-ever late-night interview and on March 26th, Dr. Anthony Fauci chose The Daily Show for his first late-night appearance during the pandemic. Together, the interviews have garnered more than 43M views across channels!
