Roy Wood Jr. Teases Taking Over The Daily Show From Trevor Noah

As for any fear that The Daily Show might miss a step in the absence of Noah, Wood Jr. made sure to squash those concerns.

“The Daily Show is an institution,” he said. “A friend of mine told me a long time ago, ‘We don’t own these jobs, we lease them.’ So it’s all temporary. Whether it’s Kilborn or Jon or Trevor, whatever the next iteration of The Daily Show is gonna be is going to be fine and we’re going to keep whoopin’ their ass and pointing out the bullsh-t. Nothing’s going to change.”

The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11 p.m. on Comedy Central. The fifth season of Inside Amy Schumer premieres Oct. 20 on Paramount+.
