Roy Wood Jr. is leaving The Daily Show after serving as a correspondent on the series for eight years. His exit comes one year after Trevor Noah's.
The Big Picture There are many variables in life, but few are as constant as change. For Comedy Central's The Daily Show, this reality has been rather stark in the past year. It was announced in September last year that Trevor Noah was stepping down as the host of the popular late-night show after seven years. A replacement is yet to emerge, however, longtime contributor Roy Wood Jr. has revealed he won't be returning to the show when it resumes production.
In a discussion with NPR, the comedian unpacked his reasons for departing the show which included scheduling and not being interested in waiting while “waiting for someone else to take the top job.” Wood is now set to figure out what his next step would be. "I can't come up with [what] Plan B is while still working with Plan A," the comedian said to NPR. "The job of correspondent...it's not really one where you can juggle multiple things.
“After eight amazing years on The Daily Show, where I’ve been able to pursue my comedic and political curiosities with some of the best writers, producers, crew, and correspondents anyone could hope for, I’ve made the decision to move on,” Wood said in a statement.
“I look forward to finding other ways to collaborate with them down the road,” he added. “Until then, I am excited to nurture new ideas and see what the future holds for me in the shifting sands of late-night television, scripted comedy, and whatever else the comedy gods may have in store for me in 2024 and beyond.”
Guest Hosts Have Carried 'The Daily Show' Since Noah's Departure Since the departure of Noah, The Daily Show has featured a number of guest hosts including Leslie Jones and Hassan Minhaj. There have been suggestions that Minhaj would be perfect to replace Noah, so far though, a replacement is not expected till 2024. Speaking about Wood's departure, a spokesperson for The Daily Show said in a statement, “Roy Wood Jr. is a comedic genius and beloved teammate.
