brestugo 10/05/23 10:10:18 AM #1:	https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/05/entertainment/roy-wood-daily-show/index.html *Roy Wood Jr., who some believed would succeed Trevor Noah as host of The Daily Show, has announced hes leaving the talk show.* The correspondent for The Daily Show first shared the news in an interview with NPRs television critic, Eric Deggans. After eight amazing years on The Daily Show, where Ive been able to pursue my comedic and political curiosities with some of the best writers, producers, crew and correspondents anyone could hope for, Ive made the decision to move on, Wood told CNN in a statement. Im grateful to Trevor Noah, Paramount and especially Comedy Central for giving me the runway to also produce three one-hour stand-up specials, for letting me host two award winning podcasts, letting me write & shoot my own comedy pilot, write a film, and much, much more. *I look forward to finding other ways to collaborate with them down the road,* he added. Until then, I am excited to nurture new ideas and see what the future holds for me in the shifting sands of late night television, scripted comedy, and whatever else the comedy gods may have in store for me in 2024 and beyond. Noah left his job as host after seven years in December 2022. A parade of guest hosts have filled in since his departure. Wood spoke with CNN not long after Noah announced his departure. He shared his admiration for Noah and joked that when a replacement host was announced, he and the other correspondents would probably be the last to know. I think at the end of the day, The Daily Show has had three hosts and its been good and its gonna have a fourth host. Wood told CNN at the time. Its gonna be good, whoever the hell is in the chair then. Wood served this year as the entertainer at the 2023 White House Correspondents Dinner. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:976489593] in Roy Wood J...

"The job of correspondent...it's not really one where you can juggle multiple things. [And] I think eight years is a good run." So it was either him as the new host or nothing. I can respect him for leaving. Almost everyone wanted him to be the new host, but if they're not going with him, there's no point in just continuing to be a correspondent. --- ...I think I'm done here... <cite>Hayame_Zero posted [p:976490908] in Roy Wood J...

archizzy 10/05/23 11:52:06 AM #12:	Seems like a ton of money and a pretty good gig you are passing on if you are next in line. But good luck in whatever he wants to do. Honestly to me I pretty much stopped following the Daily Show after John Stewart left. I watched a couple random episodes with Trevor Noah and never really enjoyed him. I like him more when they cut from the show before commercial but just stayed on air and he talked and answered questions with the audience rather than doing a bit. I thought he was much better doing that. He was often really insightful in his answers on serious social situations. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player.
