''Variety'' reported that August, in the middle of the [[UsefulNotes/TVStrikes WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike]], that he was the favorite to be named Noah's permanent successor and that an announcement was expected ahead of the strike's end; the following month, however, the ''New Yorker'' released a lengthy exposé accusing him of fabricating the bulk of his stories about facing racism and Islamophobia, and producing ''Patriot Act'' with an open disdain for journalistic rigor.
