Trevor Noah surprised his audience at “The Daily Show” tonight. He’s leaving as host of Comedy Central’s most popular show after 7 years. There’s no timetable yet for his exit, but now the question is whether the channel will continue the show and find a new host, or if this is the series finale. Since Samantha Bee’s show has been cancelled by TBS, she’d be a great replacement. A lot of people will vie for that job.
