Trevor Noah will officially leave “The Daily Show” on Dec. 8 and now the next question is, where does the program go from there?

When Jon Stewart left the comedy news show six years ago, Noah was ready to replace him. 

Now with Noah exiting from the same role, Deadline’s Peter White reported on Tuesday that Comedy Central is considering hosting duos and trios as it looks to replace the comedian behind the desk.

“One suggestion is that Noah will be replaced by a committee of hosts,” White wrote. “We hear that a number of the correspondents are in consideration for the positions.

“For instance, one possibility is that Roy Wood Jr. and Desi Lydic could co-host. The show’s other correspondents include Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta and Dulcé Sloan as well as gonzo reporter Jordan Klepper.”

Comedy Central eyes something similar to what “Saturday Night Live” does with their “Weekend Update” segment, which sees Colin Jost and Michael Che provide the news. Additionally, it’s a bit that’s been a mainstay on the comedy show for years.

Noah recently appeared on “The Tonight Show” and explained to host Jimmy Fallon why he felt it was the right time to exit the Comedy Central show. 

“Leave while it’s still good, leave when you still love it, leave when you still have the energy to enjoy it,” Noah told Fallon. “I still have three months to have a ton of fun with everybody on the show, and I’m going to do that.”

CNN PR Executives Ousted Amid Fallout of The Atlantic Exposé

The announcement that Dornic and Coratti Kelly are leaving the organization comes just hours after it was revealed that Licht would no longer be leading the organization.

Reverberations from The Atlantic’s feature story on now-former CNN CEO Chris Licht continue to be felt.

After Licht’s ouster Wednesday morning, it has been revealed that CNN Senior Vice President of Communications and Event Marketing Matt Dornic and CNN Global Head of Communications and Marketing Kristine Coratti Kelly have both also departed the network.

Dornic was prominently featured in Tim Alberta’s exposé on the “meltdown” at CNN, and was seen as an integral figure in giving Alberta as much access as he was allowed during his nearly yearlong assignment getting a behind-the-scenes look at Licht’s attempt to build a “new CNN”.

The announcement that Dornic and Coratti Kelly are leaving the organization comes just hours after it was revealed that Licht would no longer be leading the organization. After being hired as Jeff Zucker’s replacement in late February 2022, Licht helmed the cable outlet during one of the more tumultuous periods in its history.

The news of Dornic and Coratti Kelly’s departure was first reported by Puck News’ Dylan Byers.

Joe Concha: Chris Licht Victim Of Internal Coup By Top CNN Talent

“I can’t recall the last time a network president at this level got axed this quickly, and it was an internal coup led by on-air talent.”

This morning, Dana Perino, co-anchor of Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom, discussed the ouster of Chris Licht with contributor and columnist for The Messenger Joe Concha, who has been following Licht’s tenure at CNN closely.

Concha commented on the less-than-favorable feature from The Atlantic that was released prior to Chris Licht stepping down as CEO, “I wouldn’t allow a reporter to follow me around for a year including going to my workouts in the morning, and just witnessing what I’m doing around the office and then expect at the profile is going to be more positive and the negative.”

“He started there in April 2022, we are talking less than 15 months, he is gone.” Concha continued, “I can’t recall the last time a network president at this level got axed this quickly, and it was an internal coup led by on-air talent.”

Concha described the friction inside CNN, with talent and network executives vehemently disagreeing with Licht’s attempts to bring the network closer to “the middle” politically”.

“Many could not accept the fact that Licht was attempting to move the network from being seen by conservatives and many independents as an activist news network, a resistance news network, aimed at disparaging through provocative and personal opinion, those right or right of center, and thereby destroying the decent credibility it once had.”

He also noted the circumstance by which Licht entered his role as CEO, “And remember, Licht had inherited a network that had lost 75% of its audience when you’re comparing early 2021 to the spring of 2022, and new leadership there gave him marching orders there, saying move this network back to the center.”
