Women are not funny

I thought she slayed. Lesdoggg TheDailyShow

She couldn’t shut up during an interview of Cheech & Chong on HotBoxin with Mike Tyson. It was EMBARASSING 🤦‍♂️

It’d be awesome to see her as a permanent host on here

Interesting...

Good luck. Hope she's more than a disproportional quota hire.

No thanks.

Best wishes! Will be watching 💜

Why are they bringing him in?

Love her. I can't wait ❤️

OMG I’m so excited!!

That's a stretch.

Give her a chance. Changing hosts is always a dangerous game when it all rests on one person's shoulders. The risk is that if it doesn't work out once or twice it can kill the show.

I love that she is not trying to match anyone else's style.

Wait what Trevor is leaving? Wtf

Dead to now forever.

Blah blah blah

Will the whole show be saturated with race humor?

Good for her, but I think the show should retire; CC is never going to recapture what they had when Jon hosted the show. It's not a knock on Trevor or Leslie at all, Jon just seems more proactively involved/interested/informed in politics than the average celebrity/host.

Gotta love her! 👏👏👏👏👏

They might as well have Rachel Maddow host if they’re looking for anger disguised as comedy.

'Vulnerable honesty' 🥱

Isn’t that the ugly chick from that horrible ghostbusters sequel flop? Lesdoggg 🤡

Super surprising that show is still on.
