Last week late-night shows announced that they were shutting down as precautions regarding the coronavirus.

In response to this, many of the shows aired online videos with the hosts performing monologues and remotely interviewing celebrities from their homes. Among the shows was The Daily Show hosted by Trevor Noah.

After just three online episodes, The Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah is set to air on Comedy Central starting Monday, March 23 at 11 PM.

The show first aired on the program’s online and social channels and it features complex editing involving short clips, images, and graphics—making it the most elaborate online late-night show. The Daily Social Distancing Show with Trevor Noah premiered last Wednesday and it already has three million viewers per episode.

Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon’s late-night videos have also been aired on television as openings for reruns of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon reruns.
