The studio in New York City has been fully redesigned in order to fit in a capacity of 50%. While she will welcome back her fans, they will still be socially distanced.
Hall told Deadline, “I can’t think of a more vital and more relevant way to kick off Season 3 than two conversations happening in nearly every home right now –children and masks and critical race.”
Trevor Noah`s ‘New’ Daily Show
Trevor Noah`s Daily Social Distancing Show is over! Noah`s show was on hiatus for three months, but now it is back and better than ever. While Noah filmed the Daily Show from his apartment, he claimed that it wasn`t working well for him anymore. Noah told TVLine, “You see, I would have kept doing the show from my apartment, but then I started to have problems with the wifi, and I decided that building an entirely new studio was easier than calling Spectrum.” That does seem a lot more convenient than having to call the cable guy!

The Daily Show is now filmed at ViacomCBS’ Times Square headquarters. You can watch Noah`s Daily Show on Monday`s at 11p.m. ET (8 p.m. PT.)
