+1 to Trevor Noah. I think he, like many late night shows (maybe just Sett Meyers) really had a reset during COVID and built some of their best shows. Working from home gave him a much more relaxed and personal feel. It likely is what ultimately caused Trevor to leave the Daily Show. I think once he returned to the traditional studio setting he realized he wanted the ability to do more. You can do a lot with the Daily Show, but you're still stuck in a particular frame. Hell Stewart had similar issues which ultimately caused him to leave as well.

I hope Stewart sticks around after the election. He doesn't need to be on once a week, just give him an open invitation. Same with Trevor, give him a few slots to come back. I like the rotating host thing they're doing at the moment. (I wish Roy Wood Jr stuck around.) So I hope they keep things rotating.
