The renowned comedian was recently reported to be paying the salaries of 25 furloughed crew members of The Daily Show, out of his own pocket.
According to Variety, Trevor will be paying the crew of the show until things get back to normal. Production on the show has been halted amidst the outbreak of Covid-19 to practice the call of social distancing.
