The end of an era is fast approaching on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” and the network has announced at least the first phase of plans for what comes next.
Following the imminent departure of host Trevor Noah, the network shared this week that comedy legends including Al Franken, Chelsea Handler, DL Hughley, Leslie Jones, John Leguizamo, Hasan Minhaj, Kal Penn, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes and Marlon Wayans, will be hosting the late night show starting on Tuesday, January 17th as part of their “next chapter”.
Comedy Central added that “Daily Show” correspondents and contributors are also “ready to host with more details to announce.”
“As we enter Trevor’s final week, we want to thank him for his many contributions,” said Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of Paramount Media Networks, according to the network’s statement.
Trevor redefined the show, as did Jon Stewart before him, and as we look to the future, we’re thrilled to reinvent it once again with the help of this incredible roster of talent and correspondents alongside the immensely talented team of ‘Daily Show’ ‘. ”
Noah’s final show airs this Thursday. The network has yet to announce whether guest hosts will rotate indefinitely or a permanent individual host will be named soon.
“The Daily Show” airs weekdays at 11pm ET/PT on Comedy Central and is available next morning on Paramount+.
