I recent poll also wants all water to taste like candy, and fast food needs to be faster. Polls are for idiots.

Wyatt went nuts, like Joaquin Phoenix nuts. The Kal Penn idea is actually a good one, but the fact that he worked for President Kenyan would be too polarizing. If Bee is bailing (and she was not really good enough for that spot) then Jason Jones will go with her. Of the old crowd, I actually would not mind Rob Riggle in the spot, even though he leans more to the right. Even though she would never do it, Tina Fey would be perfect in that spot, too.
Ultimately, the best thing for them to do long term would be to start over with another unknown with a full new cast. There are some good edgy comedians out there who might be able to do what Stewart did. Chris Hardwick stands out as one possible guy, at least to me.

Chris Hardwick is one that's been bouncing around in my mind for the past couple of weeks. He's charming, quick, and obviously has a lot of interviewing experience. He can also jump back and forth between being serious and funny similar to Jon Stewart. I think he's the closest you could get to keeping the same sort of tone to the show. The thing is, he just isn't political. I listened to an episode of the Nerdist recently where he even said he avoids political topics because he doesn't like being that divisive. Obviously the writers could help writing political jokes, but if he doesn't have much of an interest in politics, he's not going to be great at interviewing political guests and authors.

Have seen lots of "possibilities" that make me cringe.. i would never watch a show anchored by Sam B, Rob Riggle, or fuckin Jessica Williams. Tina Fey i would at least give a chance. Norm Mcdonald I think i would enjoy?
But really i agree that they need to start fresh with a whole new casts of relatively unknown comedians. even keeping the rare lewis black segments(that i love) i think would be hanging on to the past too much. that was Jon's show, they need a fresh re-start.

Yeah, this show pretty much has to have someone that is into politics. For a TV personality if you're not going to make your gig about politics, then you should probably just avoid it completely or you will alienate half of your potential audience so I think he is smart to stay away from politics but it makes him totally wrong for the Daily Show.

That seems so odd. I've enjoyed his bits on TDS, but he's like...brand new to it.

yeah thats a weird choice, then again john oliver has grown to become a show thats even better than the daily show so who knows. just doesn't seem like noah has a good pulse on american culture, and like 80% of TDS is pop culture references.
seems bad for a show if the writers drive the topics and tone rather than the host - the nightly show seems like a directionless show without a strong leader, and trevor noah will probably end up the same.
if that ends up being true the two of them plus arsenio hall will set back black people on late night forever
