Comedy Central's 'Daily Show' will return October 16 and will be lead by guests hosts for the rest of 2023
” will return to the air on October 16, the latest of TV’s late-night shows to chart a reboot following a shut-down due to the Hollywood writers strike.
While wee-hours rivals like “Tonight:” and “Late Show” are coming back on October 2 with their regular hosts, “Daily” will continue to rely on guests, as it has since Trevor Noah left the program last year. A new host is expected to take over the desk in early 2024. Guest hosts will continue to lead the program for the rest of the year, Comedy Central said.
The maneuvers show the Paramount Global cable networ considering a wider array of candidates to take the reins of the program according to people familiar with the matter, after having previously identified Hasan Minhaj as a leading possibility. The decision appears to come in the wake of a recent report in The New Yorker in which some of the supposedly autobiographical stories that Minhaj has used in his routines were found to be embellished.
Comedy Central declined to comment, as did WME, the talent agency that represents Minhaj. Comedy Central has never confirmed that Minhaj was in line for the position, which was previously reported by Variety in August.
