Spotify: Trevor Noah Hosts New Podcast

Trevor Noah may have stopped hosting “The Daily Show,” but he’s not giving up the spotlight.

On Tuesday it was announced that he will host a new Spotify podcast.

“The weekly podcast will combine Trevor’s signature humor and razor-sharp wit with his global perspective to provide a unique take on the hottest and most compelling topics of the moment,” said a press release from the show. “The series, launching later this year, will also feature in-depth and free-flowing conversations between Trevor and some of the most influential and interesting figures around the world.”

News that Noah was leaving as host of the Comedy Central night show came last September, and he signed off in December.

Noah had hosted for seven years.

“It’s really exciting to embark on a fun new adventure with Spotify, where we’ll engage in interesting and meaningful conversations with some of the world’s most fascinating people,” Noah said in a statement. “We’ll also probably solve every problem humanity has ever faced, so you’ll definitely want to join us for every episode.”

The new podcast was the first revealed during a conversation between Noah and Spotify’s co-founder and chief executive officer Daniel Ek, who is part of the Spotify Beach daytime lineup taking place at France’s Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.

“We are excited to partner with Trevor to create an original podcast that seamlessly blends his unique humor, insightful commentary and consummate interviewing skills on a global scale,” Spotify vice president Julie McNamara said in a statement.

The announcement comes days after Archewell Audio, the company of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Spotify ended a multi-year partnership.
