Noah revealed his plans to an audience at Thursday evening’s taping of the program in New York, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Noah’s plans to depart surface as TV’s late-night roster has begun to shrink. Yes, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel still appear every weeknight around 11:30 p.m.

Comedy Central has several potential replacements for Noah on its roster.

The host works with a large circle of faux “correspondents” that includes mainstays such as Desi Lydic, Roy Wood Jr., Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta and Dulcé Sloan.
