Comedy Central announced on Thursday that it has extended The Daily Show host Trevor Noah's contract through 2022. The deal includes annual year-end specials hosted by Noah to begin this December. "I'm thrilled to be continuing this amazing journey with both fans of The Daily Show and Comedy Central," Noah said in a statement. "It's really exciting to renew this contract for either five more years or until Kim Jong Un annihilates us all — whichever one comes first." Noah, who made his debut as Jon Stewart’s successor in September 2015, was not nominated in the crowded late-night Emmy category either of his first two years as host, but the show did win a Creative Arts Emmy this past week for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series for its digital series “Between the Scenes.”
