Earlier this summer, Trevor Noah signed a deal with Spotify to host a weekly podcast series. The former host of The Daily Show is launching What Now? with Trevor Noah and it’s exec produced by Ben Winston, former co-showrunner of rival late-night show The Late Late Show with James Corden.
The series, which launches on November 9, is produced by Noah’s Day Zero Productions, Fulwell 73 Productions, which produced The Late Late Show with James Corden with CBS Studios, and Audacy’s Pineapple Street Studios.
But it’s not the first time the former late-night host and former late-night showrunner have teamed up; Winston has exec produced the Grammys with Noah as host.
What Now? with Trevor Noah will see the South African comedian interview entertainers, CEOs, actors, athletes, and “thought leaders” and Spotify promises that these conversations will be “full of radical candor, authentic back-and-forths, and honest reactions”.

Rob Lowe, Burt Reynolds and Ice-t starred in a low-budget movie called Crazy Six in 1997. The movie, which told the story of powerful mafia families vying for control of the arms trade, was written by Galen Yuen, who is the focus of a new original podcast series for Apple.
However, Yuen isn’t your traditional feature film writer.
The series – Magnificent Jerk – follows journalist Maya Lin Sugarman, formerly of The Washington Post, on a journey to discover who her uncle really was.
Starting with a box of his forgotten screenplays, the series sees Lin Sugarman discovering that he was a member of a Chinese gang who went to jail before turning his life story into the Crazy Six screenplay (albeit with a few twists).
The series, which launches on September 18, comes from Pineapple Street Studios, the Audacy-owned company behind The Clearing and Heaven’s Gate.

Exclusive: Andrea Bernstein and Ilya Marritz, the hosts of the award-winning podcast Trump, Inc., have set their next project.
Bernstein and Marritz are working on a investigative documentary podcast series that will trace the multiple failures that led to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
It is their first project since the pair revealed that they were leaving Wnyc after two decades to work on the new series with Audacy-owned Pineapple Street Studios, the company behind series including Wind of Change, Missing Richard Simmons and 70 Over 70.
The untitled series will look at the insurrection and how the attack very nearly toppled democracy from within as well as Trump’s continued denial of basic facts surrounding the events of January 6, and declared in a recent statement “I’m not into coups!”. It comes as Republicans in Congress have resisted an independent, bipartisan investigation in the style of the 9/11 commission.
