Comedy Central Won’t Choose ‘Daily Show’ Host After Year-Long Search
Comedy Central won't name a new host of its signature 'Daily Show' despite a year-long search, and will rely on its team of correspondents
When the program returns from a hiatus, it is expected to rely heavily on a team of correspondents to lead each night, according to three people familiar with the matter, though it is not clear if the network has struck upon its final assemblage of talent. Production last year was hampered by the Hollywood writers strikes, and Comedy Central did not run “Daily Show” repeats as its rivals at CBS, NBC and ABC did. Among the celebrities who guest-hosted “Daily Show” in 2023 in hopes of being considered for a permanent role are Leslie Jones, Chelsea Handler, Kal Penn, Charlamagne Tha God and Sarah Silverman.
