guest host, fear not: Current correspondents and contributors are set to be part of the anchor rotation as well.has had guest hosts in the past, executive producer and showrunner Jen Flanz tells Vulture that, as far as she can remember, “This is the first time we’re really having outsiders into our house.” The nature of Noah’s relatively sudden departure is also unprecedented in the show’s history: It now faces its longest stretch ever without a permanent host.
Indeed, while Comedy Central and Paramount execs have “general thoughts and a thesis” about what they want the post-Noah era to look like, McCarthy says they view the upcoming months of external and internal guest hosts as a chance to experiment. “This is an opportunity to test different models and formats,” he says. “And we’ll do that to give ourselves the time to plan over the next few months before we really begin to lock in on what the next chapter’s going to look like.
In addition to not yet knowing who will take over as host, McCarthy and Flanz say they’ve yet to decide whether to stick with’s single-anchor format or evolve to something different such as co-anchors, similar toand. “We’re wide open to really any number of ideas,” McCarthy says. “I think it has to be creatively driven, and it has to be talent first.” Flanz concurs, saying the idea of moving away from a solo anchor “is exciting” to her.
That said, both McCarthy and Flanz caution against reading too much into their openness to a different format. “Listen, one person has worked for us for a very long time,” says Flanz, who starts her 25th year withnext month. “I just think there’s a lot of options. And the exciting thing about this time is that it’s blown the whole thing wide open again, and we can experiment.”The Daily Show
moving forward is able to connect with audiences outside of the cable-TV ecosystem, much the way Noah has done. “We’re very mindful that the audience that watches us on linear is very different than the audience that watches us on social and streaming,” the exec says. “And this next generation is really most likely going to watch us on TikTok.
TVMoJoe Just give the job to Hasan already- he’s funny, has proven his ability to successfully and intelligently host, and many of us Daily Show fans love his work and style! If not Hasan, Roy Wood Jr and Ronny Chieng (as well as Dulce Sloan) are great- and don’t forget Desi Lydic :)!
TVMoJoe Why not .iamjohnoliver? He wins all the prizes. Maybe they're waiting for him to work out his current contract.
TVMoJoe Michael Che. No brainer.
TVMoJoe I'd love Lesdoggg to get the FT gig, but she'd probably get bored.
