When Jon Stewart announced that he is leaving The Daily Show "at some point this year," viewers wildly speculated just who the heck would be taking his spot. It's obviously not John Oliver or Larry Wilmore so eyes naturally turned to the show's correspondents.
Jessica Williams was the first to take her hat - hair? - out of the ring. She wrote to her followers " I am super not right for it, but there are quite a few people who are!"
Comedy Central may already have an idea of who is going to replace Stewart. Look forward to having our Senior Youth Correspondent around for a while.
Fact 1: I'm not hosting. Thank you but I am extremely under-qualified for the job!
