Comedy Central to Announce 'Next Chapter' for 'The Daily Show' Following Emmy Win
Reports suggest correspondents may lead the show in the coming months as contracts are under negotiation.
- Comedy Central is set to announce the 'next chapter' for 'The Daily Show' next week, following a period of uncertainty after Trevor Noah's departure over a year ago.
- The show recently won an Emmy for 'Outstanding Talk Series', but the unresolved host issue took center stage during the ceremony.
- Longtime correspondent Roy Wood Jr., who left the show in October, expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation by mouthing 'Please hire a host' during the Emmy's acceptance speech.
- Reports suggest that the show will be led by its correspondents in the coming months, rather than celebrity guest hosts, hinting that the permanent host could already be on staff.
- Contracts for several correspondents, including Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic and Jordan Klepper, are currently under negotiation.
