Trevor Noah, the new host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, said the programme will step up efforts to reach viewers on Snapchat and other online platforms when he takes over this week.
"We're trying to find a way to get into those spaces in an authentic way and not just trying to chop up the Daily Show, Noah said at a press event on Saturday in New York.
"We acknowledge that Snapchat is a thing, and so we will treat it accordingly and we'll do that for every source that we feel merits that."
Jon Stewart hosted his final show last month, capping a 17-year run in which he became a go-to source for younger viewers for his sharp and humorous take on current events.
The 31-year-old South African comedian will have a wide range of guests his first week, including musician Ryan Adams, comedian Kevin Hart, tech entrepreneur Whitney Wolfe, and New Jersey Governor and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie.
