The end of an era is fast approaching at Comedy Central?s ?The Daily Show,? and the network has announced at least the first phase of plans for what?s to come next.
Following longtime host Trevor Noah?s imminent departure, the network shared this week that comedy legends including Al Franken, Chelsea Handler, D. L. Hughley, Leslie Jones, John Leguizamo, Hasan Minhaj, Kal Penn, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes and Marlon Wayans will fill in as host of the late-night show starting Tuesday, January 17th, as part of its ?next chapter?.
Comedy Central added that ?Daily Show? correspondents and contributors are also ?set to host with additional details to be announced.?
?As we enter Trevor?s final week, we want to thank him for his many contributions,? said Chris McCarthy, president/CEO of Paramount Media Networks, according to the network statement.
Trevor redefined the show, as did Jon Stewart before him, and as we look to the future, we are excited to reimagine it yet again with the help of this incredible list of talent and correspondents along with the immensely talented ?Daily Show? team.?
Noah?s final show is set to air this Thursday. The network has yet to announced whether guest hosts will revolve indefinitely or if a permanent, individual host will be named soon.
?The Daily Show? airs weeknights at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central and is available the following morning on Paramount+.
