Trevor Noah feels too green to me.

Can I hope for a dark horse candidate and pick Lewis Black? =P

 

[Nokagi]

Pretty sure I'm done with the Daily Show after Stewart leaves. Probably just go back to watching Conan hah.

 

[davepoobond]

Jordan Klepper is probably my favorite on there right now out of the remaining ones to choose from. I would have said Aasif would have gotten it and he would have fit well.


Maybe they'll do some sort of revolving guest host thing? Who knows, really

 

[speculawyer]

Who?

I'd taken Wyatt, John Oliver, Colbert, Assaf, heck . . . even Rob Riggle.

 

[jchap]

All bad options

I love Lewis Black, but he would have a stroke 3 episodes in from yelling so much during the bits where they tear Fox News apart.

 

[LX_Theo]

His accent is a bit much for a leading role on the show. It feels like his articulation isn't as clear.

 

[ZealousD]

Who?

I'd taken Wyatt, John Oliver, Colbert, Assaf, heck . . . even Rob Riggle.

He's the South African guy who's popped up a few times. I don't think he's a regular correspondent yet?

 

[Booshka]

They have to find another jew to host.


Seriously jon stewarts yiddish grandmother impressions were the best, im gonna miss that.

Only surpassed by Howard Stern impersonating his parents.

I don't really see how you replace Stewart, I haven't the slightest idea to pick. But Aasif Mandvi is probably the one on the show I like the most, but no idea if he could Host it.

 

[Red Comet]

I don't even know who this is. I'll give him a chance, but I was hoping that John Oliver would come back to CC.

I typically watch Conan anyway, and I'll be watching Colbert when he comes to CBS.

 

[DrForester]

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

I wanted Wyatt Cenac.

Man, Wyatt would've been perfect. This guy seems like an awful choice. He's been one-note so far and his delivery has left a lot to be desired.

 

[thecouncil]

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Never going to happen, but I'd like to see Lewis Black take the seat for a while.

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

Looks like a twelve year old. Surely someone with a tad more notoriety and experience wants the job right?

I wanted Wyatt Cenac.

My god he'd be PERFECT! Make it happen CC.

 

[Aeana]

I rather liked the interview piece that Jon did with him (it's at his site). It made me think he probably has the demeanor to take the position. I would, of course, prefer Aasif like any sane person, but that probably won't happen.

 

[Derpyduck]

I had no idea who he was. Then I googled him and I still have no idea who he is.

 

[riotous]

It's the interviews that are the main concern. I think plenty of people could handle the rest of the host job.

And it's hard to guess who'd be good at that. I mean I wouldn't have guessed Stewart would turn out so well based on his pre Daiy Show career.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Really would have liked Jessica Williams, but whatever.

No thank you. She is by far their worst correspondent.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

John Hodgman

 

[thestopsign]

Jason Jones or Jon Oliver would have been my picks. Neither of those are going to happen at this point now though.

Assif Mandvi should do it from the current candidates.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Would be nice to have a Mexican host

 

[Fox Mulder]

Pretty sure I'm done with the Daily Show after Stewart leaves. Probably just go back to watching Conan hah.

All good things end. Colbert Report got replaced by shit, so I expect the same here.

Sad.

 

[Ecotic]

From what I've seen of his brief tenure on TDS so far, Noah seems a little... stiff. Honestly I think they need someone older than 31, you need to be believable as a host of a social commentary show, like you've been around the block more than a few times. That's why Jessica Williams is such a bad idea, she's even younger at 25.

 

[Yekshemesh]

Lewis Black should be the one to replace JS.

 

[Kinyou]

Aasif or Wyatt would be the best

Yeah, I think one of them would be better.

Lewis Black should be the one to replace JS.

Can he even talk in a normal voice? He'd probably be hoarse after three shows from all the shouting.

 

[HighResTomato]

John Hodgman

Worst option ever

 

[massoluk]

I wanted Jason Jones

 

[Oblivion]

Who?

 

[TedHub]

I stand by my nomination for Paul F. Tompkins.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

I stand by my nomination for Paul F. Tompkins.

This would be amazing.

 

[nocturnalis]

Whatever happened to Jordan? He was hilarious, imo.

 

[Yekshemesh]

Can he even talk in a normal voice? He'd probably be hoarse after three shows from all the shouting.

I've seen him do TV interviews where he retains his sense of humor without the yelling.

 

[JDSN]

They are really scrapping the botton of the barrel here, they shouldnt be looking into the current correspondents.


Unless they bring Rob Riggle back.

 

[Ferrio]

Bring back Rob Corddry, too bad he's doing movies.

 

[Makai]

I wanted the Cenac Attack

 

[Toothless]

Aasif is literally the only correspondent there I know by name and he's freaking hysterical. If it goes to a correspondent that's not him (and Aasif doesn't publicly turn it down), I'm not even gonna give it a try.

 

[giga]

Aziz Ansari

 

[DrForester]

Get Jeremy Clarkson to host.

 

[Henchmen21]

Why are so many here asking for Wyatt? He left the show years ago.

Aziz Ansari

Get that out of here. Guys entire schtick is "Hey this one time when I was with random famous person I know"

 

[HariKari]

Lewis Black would be amazing. Probably the best fit for the style of the show to keep it as is. I don't see many of the mentioned candidates following Stewart well.

 

[B-Dubs]

Lewis Black would be amazing. Probably the best fit for the style of the show to keep it as is. I don't see many of the mentioned candidates following Stewart well.

He'd have a stroke by the end of the first week.

 

[alejob]

I've enjoyed the Hasan Minhaj reports. Not saying he should take over.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Get Jeremy Clarkson to host.

MIght as well go to Fox News, he'll be a better fit there.

 

[minor effort]

Lewis Black would be amazing. Probably the best fit for the style of the show to keep it as is. I don't see many of the mentioned candidates following Stewart well.

Lewis Black is in his mid-to-late 60s. He probably wouldn't stay too long before retiring.

From what I've seen so far, Trevor Noah hasn't made too much of an impression at TDS yet.

After Samantha Bee and Jason Jones left, Aasif Mandvi is the most senior correspondent at the show, and he'd be a pretty good choice. Numerous people in this thread have also mentioned Wyatt Cenac, who would also be a great pick if he could be persuaded to rejoin the show. Samantha Bee could probably be persuaded to stick around if she were offered the job of hosting the show. I also thought Larry Wilmore would have been a good pick if the timing had worked out, but he got his own show instead.

I love John Hodgman, but hosting TDS would not be a good fit for either him or the show.

 

[demon]

I don't know how well Aasif would do at interviews, but he seems like the best choice to me. I could see him hosting the show and he's very naturally funny.

Really would have liked Jessica Williams, but whatever.

This, however, I'll never get. Her comedic delivery is terrible.

 

[BUNTING1243]

No wonder Jason Jones wanted out. Trever is pretty new to the show, right?

 

[JDSN]

I've enjoyed the Hasan Minhaj reports. Not saying he should take over.

Due has a freaky-looking small head, I cant stand to see him.

 

[Not]

Huge news. I'll tune in for sure.

 

[Sobriquet]

No. The Daily Show IS Jon Stewart he basically changed everything from Kilborn's days. And Kilborn was host for what, two years?

Something like that. And yeah, it changed from pop culture to politics. Doesn't mean that people weren't upset when Stewart was announced as the new host.
