Obviously, the powers that be at Paramount Global have actually chosen not to follow the message Roy Wood Jr. mouthed while onstage accepting the Daily Show‘s Emmy for exceptional range talk program: “Hire a host.”
Per Range Funny Central is rotating far from its look for a brand-new, irreversible Daily Show host to change Trevor Noah. Rather, the network is picking to depend on its group of Daily Show reporters and a series of celeb visitor hosts to lead the program in the coming months.
According to Range’s sources, when The Daily Show returns from its hiatus, there will not be a long-term host changing Noah, who left The Daily Show after 7 years in December of 2022. Rather, the Emmy-winning talk series will depend on its cast of reporters– that include Desi Lydic, Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta, and Dulce Sloan— to alternate hosting responsibilities, in addition to celeb visitor stars. Wood, a longtime and cherished reporter on The Daily Show, left the series in 2015 since he was passed over for the long-term hosting gig.
“I can’t develop fallback while still dealing with strategy A,” Wood informed NPR in October. “The task of reporter– it’s not actually one where you can manage several things. [And] I believe 8 years is a great run.”
The look for a long-term replacement for Noah, who took control of the task from longtime and cherished Daily Show host Jon Stewart in 2015, has actually been stuffed, to state the least. In the summertime of 2023, The Daily Show appeared as if it were coalescing behind comic and previous reporter Hasan Minhaj. After a New Yorker short article questioned the accuracy of Minhaj’s stand-up product and implicated Minhaj of elaborating stories including IslamophobiaMinhaj was apparently dropped from the running for the Daily Show gig. (Minhaj has actually emphatically rejected the accusations versus him.)
In the meantime, star visitor hosts consisting of Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, Chelsea Handler, Kal Penn, and Charlamagne Tha God have actually all taken turns behind the desk. Rather than bump one of them up to full-time Daily Show host, according to Range, Paramount Global executives have actually chosen they “do not feel all set to pick one at this time” and will rather count on a “newsroom” principle that depends on a group of reporters leading the program. Per Range, they’ll still have their eye out for a long-term host to begin … at some point.
