“The Daily Show” Reveals Its Next Slate Of Guest Hosts

by

Comedy Central has confirmed and set dates for the next five guest hosts at The Daily Show. Per Comedy Central, guest hosts have been holding weekly residencies on the program since Trevor Noah exited the show on December 8, 2022. Chelsea Handler is hosting the show this week. This is only her most recent late-night guest hosting gig after she filled in for Jimmy Kimmel in June of 2022. Sarah Silverman is set to host The Daily Show next week, on February 13.

As for the now extended list of comedians hosting The Daily Show, it is full of talent and obvious hilarity. Hasan Minhaj (The Patriot Act) will cover the week of February 27. After that, Marlon Wayans (White Chicks) will take the following week of March 6. Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar go to White Castle) will host the week of March 13. Al Franken (Saturday Night Live) will take on the week of March 20, and John Leguizamo (Violent Night) will host the week of March 27. Comedy Central will announce dates for more guest hosts, including The Daily Show correspondents and contributors, in the next few weeks.

Comedy Central is keeping an open mind in terms of who will succeed Noah as permanent host, according to Deadline. Also, the network is considering hosting duos and trios. Particularly, Comedy Central is considering some of the Daily Show correspondents for the promotion, possibly even in a team of hosts for the show. For instance, Roy Wood Jr. and Desi Lydic are being considered as a hosting duo. Other correspondents include The show’s other correspondents include Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta, Dulcé Sloan, and reporter Jordan Klepper.

The switch to a duo or group cast would give The Daily Show a unique edge in daily late-night television. Moreover, this would also give the show a fresh look as it has historically only held one host (John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, then Trevor Noah). It would give The Daily Show a Saturday Night Live ‘Weekend Update’ energy that fans of late-night television generally adore. Whatever the permanent solution ends up being, the permanent host (or hosts) will start in the fall of 2023.

Marlon Wayans Says He Reached Out to Will Smith After Oscars Slap: “You Need To Sit Down With a Therapist”

Marlon Wayans has been famous for a long time but will admit that he doesn’t have the pressure of his friend Will Smith. While sitting in an interview with Big Boy in promotion of his new HBO special The Headliners, Marlon revealed he called Will Smith after the infamous slap.

Wayans stated he thinks 30 years of pressure got to Smith at the moment and snapped. Wayans advocated to “check on your strong friends,” which is what he did via phone call.

“I was like, ‘Hey brother you may want to go get you about three hours of therapy,’” Wayans said. “’You need to sit down with a therapist and have a long talk. Something is going on with you.’ And that wasn’t him. See, I don’t have that kind of pressure. He’s been Black excellence for 30 years, I’ve been Black alrightness, ain’t too much pressure. People expect me to do dumb stuff, but him? Nah, not Will.”

Wayans also believed that Smith’s slap to Rock was counterproductive beyond his own career and will allow for more jokes to be made about Jada Pinkett Smith. “Everybody got a Will Smith-Chris Rock, you know, Jada joke,” Wayans said.

Wayans says he also spoke with Chris Rock to make sure that he was doing well. You can hear Marlon Wayans dive into the subject and more below.
