In the wake of Trevor Noah's departure from The Daily Show in December, Comedy Central has announced the schedule for the guest hosts who will steer the show until a permanent replacement is named. Comedy veterans Leslie Jones, Wanda Sykes, D.L. Hughley, Chelsea Handler, and Sarah Silverman will each host the show for a week, starting later this month.
New episodes of The Daily Show will begin airing on January 17; Jones will be the first guest host, hosting until January 19. Skyes will host from January 23-26, Hughley from January 30 to February 2, Handler from February 6-9, and Silverman from February 13-16. Following this lineup, Comedy Central also announced that Al Franken, John Leguizamo, Hasan Minhaj, Kal Penn, and Marlon Wayans will be guest-hosting; their dates are forthcoming.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY All of the guest hosts have extensive comedy backgrounds. Formerly a standout cast member of Saturday Night Live, Jones starred in 2016's Ghostbusters reboot and currently hosts the game show Supermarket Sweep. Sykes is a standup comedy veteran, hosted her own talk show on Fox, and co-hosted the 2022 Oscars. Hughley starred on the sitcom The Hughleys, and anchored a news show on CNN, Breaking the News.
Now Comedy Central's longest-running show, The Daily Show originally launched in 1996 as a vehicle for comedian Craig Kilborn; when he moved on to host CBS's Late Late Show in 1998, Jon Stewart took over the show, and steered it in a more political direction, becoming a popular voice of dissent during the George W. Bush Administration. Stewart left the show in 2015 and was succeeded by Noah. Noah announced his own departure late last year; his final episode aired on December 8.
Comedy Central has yet to name a new permanent host for The Daily Show. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Drives A Stake Through Hopes Of Any ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ ReturnAny return of Buffy the Vampire Slayer would need new blood, according to the television series’ original star, Sarah Michelle Gellar. Gellar played the role of the monster-slaying high schoo… Buffy will reign supreme as it is now. Any reboot/remake must be staked through the heart. Or else I would love to see a show about a different Slayer in the same universe with the possibility of characters from Buffy/Angel popping up every now and then. It doesn’t even have to be the main cast. There are plenty of side characters that could show up. Just reboot and recast.
