Trevor Noah to leave The Daily Show

[wildojinx]

If they want to go back to the original news parody format, I think Kevin Nealon would be a good fit.

He was fine. The bigger problem I have is that there's nothing that really differentiates these type of shows from one another. They're all saying the same thing, with the same angles. (It's in large part why Samantha Bee's show failed. She was saying what the rest of them were, but she wasn't as talented and therefore was just....there.)

Whoever the new host is needs to lighten it up a bit. I'm not suggesting that they ignore the hot button issues, but as someone else pointed out, it gets so heavy that you're less entertained and more stressed from watching

[Hit Girl]

He was always terrible.

Samantha Bee's show didn't fail - it literally ran for over five years. No show that runs a literal half decade by any metric is a failure. She also had Stewart's best writers defect from the Daily Show to join her when she made the move and it was hilarious.

And Bee's angles were significantly different. She had the most diverse writers room and it showed.

Sam Bee's show was a victim of David Zaslav's hatchetjobs like pretty much everything else he's doing to Warner Bros. That's it.

When The Daily Show comes back in January, it will be with a line-up of celebrity guest hosts, including among them Al Franken, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, John Leguizamo, DL Hughley, and a slew of others. Plan is a more solid relaunch for the fall.

Hooray.

Might as well add Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings to that list.

I don't see the Al Franken choice being controversial at alllll. Nope. No way.

[Toates Madhackrviper]

Will the attempts to rehabilitate Al Franken never end???

I hope Stephen Colbert, who's been living in a jungle somewhere since 2014, shows up at least for one show..

This is how we get the Daily Show with Levar Burton!

Yeah, but I will say maybe a change in format wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

when Jon started the Daily show was more of a celebrity gossip show more than an actual news show...

Jon managed to pivot into more of a parody of the 24 hour news channels with Colbert as the parody of the pundits on those networks.

Trevor took over and kept kinda doing the same thing, it might have been fear of not wanting to change too much with the new host.

of the spin offs Personally I think John Oliver managed to differentiate himself the most from the Daily Show style, granted he gets to condense things into a week (and focus more tightly on specific topics because of it) instead of trying to crack jokes on stuff happening that day.

John Oliver slaughters anything the Daily Show can crap out. They can choose anyone to be host, unless it’s f***ing Oprah, LWT is gonna slaughter them.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Carson Daly will be the new host and they'll call it "The Daly Show."

Ehh? Ehh?

Might as well bring in Andrew "I'm not perverted I'm Italian" Cuomo

[Push R Truth]

I want to see an Even Stevphen episode with co hosts Carell and Colbert

Or an episode where Lewis Black just yells the news, even if it's just for one segment.

[DSR]

From what I'm seeing the "Guest Host Era" begins tomorrow night, with SNL alum Leslie Jones behind the desk.

Sarah Silverman is supposed to do a week. I may check that out, if I remember, which I won't, but I hope she does well. I like her.

[BlackoutCreature]

So they announced the next batch of guest hosts, and the correspondents are finally getting their shot behind the desk -

It's gonna be really interesting to see some of these guys have to play the straight man in the comedy bits. And I'm really looking forward to seeing Lewis Black host.
