As the only millennial host in late night, the audience for the show is expanding to better represent Noah’s generation, broadening its multicultural base of viewers who made up 25% of the adult 18-34 demographic and 20% of the adult 18-49 demographic during Noah’s first year, with increases in delivery of nearly +27% and +17%, respectively, vs. the prior year.
In addition to forming a strong linear base, fans of the show are consuming its content in greater numbers across digital and social platforms with more than one-third of consumption coming from digital platforms during Noah’s inaugural year vs. 16% for the show during the prior year. Since its premiere, multiplatform streams are up +57% for Noah’s turner vs. the comparable time period in 2014-2015, driven by massive increases across Facebook (+255%) and YouTube (+185%).
