Its the New York Post. Nothng more needs to be said.

I would watch Richard Ayoade. Will never happen but I would watch it.

Siliconemelons · Feb 17, 2015

I thought the same when Kilborn left and took his 5 questions(tm) with him... but Steward turned out good, so I am sure the next one will be good once given time.

Hell, Tina Fey really would be perfect.

But that's kinda a passion project. I mean they probably couldn't pay her enough. She's got to be wealthy enough to do whatever the hell she wants to do, at this point. I doubt that'd happen.

Tina Fey shat on Stewart a couple times, calling the laughing of the audience "clapter" (clap/laughter) and not real comedy. I enjoyed some 30 Rock, but I kinda want her to stay the fuck away. I don't think she has the heart for it.

Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, and Aasif Mandvi are the only ones still in-house that I'd like to see at the desk. I'd prefer Jones because I like his interviews the most.

I see Tina Fey as being all about comedy and not really about politics but I could be wrong. Has she ever gotten into politics?

Remember that weird time when Olivia Munn was part of the Daily Show, yea i stopped watching after that.

Of all the suggestions I've read in this thread so far the only one I really think would work would be John Hodgeman.

Hodgman is hilarious. He might be better as a sort of Colbert character, play his deranged millionaire thing for all it's worth. He could absolutely pull it off, but I don't think it would be right for The Daily Show. Luckily he's also absolutely hilarious out of character and just off the cuff. His podcast, Judge John Hodgman, lets him really flex his chops and it's outstanding.

You know who I'd actually really like, Paul F. Tompkins. I think he'd be amazing. He's absolutely hilarious and he'd be perfect filling Stewart's shoes with a similar style but different delivery etc. I just don't know how interested he is in politics etc. He's super busy on the west coast doing comedy shows and podcasts etc too. Still, now that I've thought of him I think he would be the absolute best choice if he wanted to do it.

Paul F can do some Interviews. He can do Improv/spontaneous comedy (Superego, Thrilling Adventure Hour, Comedy Bing Bong). The only thing is that he doesn't really ever get into politics. The guy has the tools to do outstanding Late Night work. He should have been in the NBC Conan/ Craig Ferguseon Spot.

he should change his name to Paul Hymie Leibowitz then he'd probably get a late nite gig

it doesn't help him that his mustache and face kinda makes him look like a pedo

His Pedo Charm is endearing.

But that doesn't mean he couldn't. It's not like when Jon Stewart was coming in we all went "Finally, we'll get some real political commentary!". I mean, his TV history was MTV shit. I'm picturing Tompkins unleashing his sarcastic and patronizing voice he does, but on politics, and the idea makes me happy.

I'm already decided that he's the best choice=P

No, no, no... Conversation needs to go back to Hodgman, he needs to be the future of the show... TDS becomes a hybrid of Colbert and TDS - win and doesn't leave Larry an odd man out.

Look at anyone and say who would replace the "feel" that TDS + Colbert had and come back with anything other than Hodgman, I dare you. (+ what Larry adds, which I feel is great, but completely new territory rather than something similar to the old since it's mostly roundtable)

Kuro · Feb 19, 2015

The Daily Show obviously needs to turn into a Fake Weather Channel.

lurkingdirk · Feb 19, 2015

Will Ferrell should do it for a few episodes, just for shits and giggles.

I am sure Hodgman is being talked to about it. It's not like he's a stranger to the show. If he doubles down on his Elitist asshole stick he would be fine.

iannis · Feb 19, 2015

I found that whenever they do characters on TDS it is one of the most predictable and least entertaining parts of the show. I'd kinda rather just listen to Jon rant about something. And sure, super rich elitist guy was one of the better characters -- but that is only saying what it's saying and I wouldn't call it entertaining.

I mean Colbert just used his character as a gag and to frame jokes and to childishly mock fox news (which is the best and highest form of mockery), there was never really any depth to it either.

I can just see that if they went that way it would feel like, "Oh. He's trying to do Colberts thing. And not succeeding at it."
