I'd have to wonder what Noah's future looks like. Obviously, his standup
career is (bafflingly to me) thriving, but how long can that last?
(Indefinitely, one supposes ...). Acting would not seem to be in his future,
though, at least based on his very limited range on TDS. Books, maybe? Politics
back home?

Matt Belloni at Puck says the 5-year contact Noah signed in 2017 was up, and
in the current environment was never going to be renewed at anything close to
the $16M/Season. Noah knew this, and knows he can make a lot of money just
touring (he does very well) and then explore other opportunities. Belloni
expects the franchise to continue with someone at a much (much) lower cost.
I stopped watching Noah regularly sometime during his first year, and only
check in sporadically since (at increasingly long intervals). I feel like I
should like him, but 4 times out if 5, I don’t. It probably is generational,
but often it feels like he is regurgitating obvious points as if they are
cutting edge, and I find myself more often annoyed than amused.
But the kids do dig him. Reports are that his TDS does create a lot of online
traffic. I think he is an example of someone who is more successful than basic
cable can support. When Stewart blew up CC paid to keep him because it felt
like a ticket to higher levels of revenue. But now, no matter how popular Noah
is, the ceiling is low on how much more revenue he can generate for them. He
will likely pop up at some streamer in some capacity in 9 months.

I'm with you on this one. I think I've long since made my feelings about Noah
and his parade of skits and crappy accents well-known.
While the next host should probably be someone like Dulce Sloan (whose own
career is probably in the midst of taking off), I wouldn't be surprised if
Paramount just ends the franchise. Surely Office and South Park reruns must be
more cost-effective. Does TDS content go viral enough among the young'uns? I
would miss Klepper baiting MAGAs, though.

For better or worse, he reshaped the series to cater to (pander to) a younger
generation, making it all but unwatchable to viewers like me. I like Noah, but
not as a host.
I’m willing to give a different host a try
