This may, in part, explain the show\u2019s steady decline in viewership.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, under the 38-year-old host\u2019s stewardship, \u201cThe Daily Show\u2019s\u201d ratings plummeted, which might be why he sought an exit.

In a press release detailing some of the more egregious anti-Catholic statements made by Noah since starting as the host of \u201cThe Daily Show,\u201d Bill Donohue, the league\u2019s president, said, \u201cNoah will go down as one of the most vulgar and bigoted comedians in television history.\u201d Much of the anti-Catholic sentiment expressed by Noah amounted to jokes at the expense of victims of past sexual abuse scandals or about Pope Francis\u2019s genitals.<\/p>\n<p>Fully embracing the left\u2019s \u201cdo as I say, not as I do\u201d lifestyle, in his Times editorial, Noah critiqued his ideological adversaries\u2019 lack of intellectual nuance, writing: <\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump\u2019s victory has only amplified the voices of extremism.
