Hadn't seen it talked about much at all, but most would probably know by now that Trevor Noah left The Daily Show and since there has been a rotation of hosts every week. Was curious about everyone's thoughts on who the replacement should be. Honestly, I love Noah, but felt that him being, not only international, but basically brand new to the US, sort of took the bite out of the show as he brought more of a curiosity to the show versus the visceral emotion that Stewart often had (Stewart's Apple+ show is awesome btw).

Anyways for those who haven't been following I recommend you check out some episodes by all the hosts and see what you think. It's been an interesting experiment I think. Order of appearance has been:

Leslie Jones
Wanda Sykes
DL Hughley
Chelsea Handler
Sarah Silverman
Hasan Minaj
Marlon Wayans
Kal Penn
Al Franken
John Leguizamo
Roy Wood Jr.

And sounds like there will be a few more. For me Roy Wood Jr has been a standout. Seems to be the most natural. Honestly thought he should have taken over the first time. Other top shows for me were Franken, Leguizamo, Penn, Handler. The rest have been pretty middle of the road and Minaj was awful. Not sure what happened to him, I used to really like him a lot. He's become unbearable.

Thoughts? Anyone else you'd like to see have a crack? Sounds like Sam Bee may appear. Maybe Klepper gets a stint?
