Late night latest: Trevor Noah says goodbye, Jimmy Fallon gets sued

It’s been a busy week for late night with Trevor Noah saying goodbye to The Daily Show after seven years and Jimmy Fallon facing a lawsuit. Here’s your late-night latest.

Trevor Noah says goodbye

Trevor Noah made his final appearance on The Daily Show last night after announcing his exit from the Comedy Central late-night show.

The host announced his retirement from his hosting duties back in September after seven years on the air.

Since then, a number of names have flouted around as possible replacements including Roy Wood Jr. and Mo Gilligan.

Until a replacement is found, however, the show is expected to air a number of guest hosts until the perfect candidate is found. Chelsea Handler, Kal Penn, Al Franken, Sarah Silverman & Leslie Jones are all set to take on Noah’s position, according to Deadline.

We’re unsure as to whether any of these current names are in the running to take over permanently, but it would make sense.

Earlier this year, Chelsea Handler promised a return to late night. “There is a lack of female representation, in late-night, and I can do that job. I’ve done it before and I’m gonna do it again,” the comedian told Entertainment Tonight.

On his last night hosting The Daily Show, Trevor Noah thanked viewers in his goodbye message.

“I am grateful to you, every single one of you. I remember, when we started the show, we couldn’t get enough people to fill in the audience,” he told viewers.

“Everyone who’s had an opinion, everyone whose been kind enough and gracious enough, even if it’s a critique – I wanna say I appreciate those people,” he continued.

“Even the people who hate-watch, you still pulled up the ratings so thank you, I’m eternally grateful to you.”

Trevor is expected to now focus on his stand up comedy career. The comedian will continue his making appearances in Scotland, South Africa and a number of US cities.

Jimmy Fallon faces lawsuit

Jimmy Fallon, amongst a number of other high-profile celebs, now faces a lawsuit after promoting NFT project, Bored Ape Yacht Club.

It is claimed that the celebrities involved advertised the project without disclosing their investments.

“The Company’s entire business model relies on using insidious marketing and promotional activities from A-list celebrities that are highly compensated (without disclosing such), to increase demand of the Yuga securities,” a complaint filed in US District Court for the Central District of California said.

The Tonight Show host has been accused of misleading his fans into investing in Bored Ape Yacht Club. The host went as far to dedicate an entire segment to the project during a discussion with Madonna.
