Comedy Central's longest running show is expanding to 45 minutes. Part of this is Comedy central competing against other Late Night hosts.
Comedy Central's late-night franchise will go from a half-hour to 45 minutes each night starting Monday. The expansion is the first in the show's 24-year history.
The change comes as the show has found an increased audience and a number of high-profile bookings during the coronavirus pandemic, when it has rebranded as The Daily Social Distancing Show. In addition to the usual comedy pieces with the show's correspondents, host Trevor Noah has interviewed the likes of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Bill Gates and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, among others.
