The Daily Show guest host and contributor says goodbye.
The Daily Show is losing Roy Wood Jr. according to the comedian himself. In a new interview with NPR, the popular performer says that he's leaving the Comedy Central staple. But, there are no hard feelings between Wood and the show. Over the last few months, The Daily Show has been looking for a new host. Former head man Trevor Noah said that he was stepping down in a shocking moment for all the fans watching at home.
"I can't come up with Plan B is while still working with Plan A," Wood told NPR when asked about his decision."The job of correspondent...it's not really one where you can juggle multiple things. [And] I think eight years is a good run." "If you're offered the chance to host The Daily Show at any point in your life...you have to stop for a second and consider that," Wood explained to NPR."The next question becomes, 'What does The Daily Show look like in 2024? And what does late night look like in 2024?'"
Who Will Be The Next Host of The Daily Show?Recently, Minhaj came under fire for allegedly fabricating bits of his past in comedic material. That threw his candidacy for The Daily Show host into doubt. Noah left his post with a tearful goodbye message. Hopefully, the next host can inspire more emotion like this among the people watching at home.
