host has tapped Haroon Saleem, formerly of Ben Stiller’s Red Hour Films, to serve as the company’s President of Production. He will remain based in Los Angeles and report directly to Noah in New York. The news comes as Noah himself has expressed his ambitions to ramp up considerably, with the backing of Comedy Central parent Viacom, through a previously announced joint venture deal.
