I just scouted out the late night TV ratings. First of all, I was stunned at how low all the late night shows are averaging. Second, Adult Swim seems to be regularly beating Daily Show.

My conclusion: Either the show is due for a move, or Noah is getting bad financial advice, because I don’t see the show making it to 2020 in its current form.
