Many fans are wondering who will be the next host of The Daily Show after Trevor Noah. Comedy Central again has the opportunity to give a new comedian their big break just like it did for Noah seven years ago.
With the end of these shows and the departure of Noah, late night is looking less diverse. And Noah was the only one to have taken over an existing show, instead of launching a new program.
Even if the show does not choose a diverse voice as the new host, the shake-up might allow for more voices behind the scenes.co-creators Madeleine Smithberg and Lizz Winstead were the last women to hold the head writer position in 1997, and few writers of color have taken the reins. New late night programs come and go, but legacy late night programs usually do not. The hosts change, but the program keeps its spot. For example,The Opposition with Jordan Klepperhas a chance to make history by handing over a legacy brand to a woman, and it would not be out of character since the show made history when it handed over a legacy brand to a person of color, Noah. Choosing a woman of color or another diverse voice would be as important today as it was in 2015.
