Comedy Central Plans to Unveil New Steps for ‘Daily Show’ Next Week


Comedy Central said it will next week unveil new steps for its long-running 'Daily Show," which has been without a permanent host for more than a year

Despite the hoopla, there has not been a new episode of “The Daily Show” broadcast on its home, Paramount Global’s Comedy Central, since Kal Penn served as a guest on host on Thursday, September 14. It also had to navigate a surprise backlash against one of its leading choices for the host job, Hasan Minhaj, whose eligibility dimmed after a New Yorker article probed the accuracy of many of the anecdotes he uses in his comedy. Taylor Tomlinson started early Wednesday morning at the center of “After Midnight,” and has been feted with a handful of media profiled, appearances on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and the placement of the program’s debut episode on YouTube for free.
