Like all late-night hosts, "The Daily Show's" Trevor Noah had to adapt to broadcasting with no audience during the pandemic. However, when programs began returning to a vaccinated audience, Noah and the show went in a different direction.
Noah spoke with Stephen Colbert about making the "The Daily Show" with no audience following the announcement that the show would be moving from its Hell's Kitchen neighborhood location in Manhattan to ViacomCBS' Times Square corporate headquarters.
During the interview, Noah elaborated on how the pandemic has changed how he views the show considering that not having an audience allowed him to try new things to mold the show.
"We're going through the craziest period that humankind has ever experienced, in my opinion," Noah said. "And I'm not going to come out on the other side of that and be like everything is normal. I'm going to break the show, and I'm going to remake the show."
Colbert then mentioned how doing their shows transitioned as interviews with guests switched to Zoom at the height of the pandemic. The comedian asked Noah if he takes anything from that time and hopes to implement it into the post-quarantine show.
"There are parts of doing it; we feel like a band of robbers in the wild west," Noah said. "It's smaller; I think that's what I like."
