Viacom Eyes Trevor Noah to Maintain Youth Audience

TheStreet: Trevor Noah isn’t just taking over Jon Stewart’s seat as host of Viacom’s Comedy Central award-winning “Daily Show.” He is also tasked with maintaining its core audience of young viewers — the type of fans the politically charged program has cultivated over nearly two decades. Holding onto those viewers is essential for Viacom, which is reorganizing its networks in an attempt to stanch the loss of viewers and advertising dollars at its top networks that also include MTV and Nickelodeon.
