Both these spots were produced and released in house with a very deliberate digital strategy. In fact, to maximize sharing,
we released them on multiple social platforms hours before they ever ran on linear TV. The approach clearly
Worked: online alone, those two spots were seen a total of 30 MILLION times. Yes, 30 MILLION online views. That’s a lot of sharing.

First, current DS loyalists. We have over 4 million DS fans in our Viacom database, and another 9 millions fans on social platforms. Successfully introducing Trevor to this group is job one.
Second, we will target younger fans who may be just occasional or lapsed Daily Show viewers. The average age of DS viewers has been increasing steadily, and is now is 47 years. So we will target 18-34 year olds who know the franchise, but have not yet made it part of their daily routine.
The third is the growth opportunity – finding new 18-34 years olds who have not been Daily Show fans to date, but whose viewing patterns suggest they would be interested in the show's point of view and Trevor as its host. This is a group that is largely multi-cultural, and could help take TDS into a new era of growth and influence.
