I think the only questions are whatever current professional obligations he has
and his personal inclination. He's part of the cast of Married, but it's
recurring, so he could likely withdraw if he took the host chair.
As for whether he wants it or not, I have no idea.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of this sooner, but why not John Hodgman? He
certainly cultivates the same demographic the Daily Show wants, he's familiar
and well liked by the viewers, and he has his own unique style that can update
the show in much the same way Stewart updated it when Kilborn left.
Currently watching Hodgman's recent Q&A with John Cleese. Worth watching.

A TBS series. Sam is writing the show, but won't be in it--so she could still
be in the running for host.

Bill Maher: three-person panel (plus one for second half) for 40 minutes
Larry Wilmore: four-person panel for about 10 minutes
Did they spend too much money on the big table to allow them to cut back to two
guests per show?

While I get why Nightly can be seen as too much like TDS (or, in its
single-issue focus, like Last Week Tonight), the all-panel show on Wednesday
was all over the place, and not something I'd recommend for a full show.
Handler won't premiere the talker on Netflix until 2016. This year she's on
the hook for a few specials.

Nightly is a little bit too much like The Daily Show. I'm wondering if it's
time to break the mold and go with something completely different. Perhaps put
a woman in there. That way Larry Wilmore can carry on The Daily Show tradition.
On a separate note, wasn't Chelsea Handler's show supposed to be on Netflix by
now?

I will be interested in who they pick, and no doubt will sample her or him. But
the Comedy Central line that TDS is a franchise and will continue with
different hosts is a canard. More than Johnny at the Tonight Show, (or Dave
with either his NBC or CBS shows), Jon Stewart *is* TDS - or at least, what has
made TDS must-see TV. Without him, TDS will at best be just another funny
program on CC. I'm sure the Midnight show there is often funny, but I almost
never watch it. As much as I liked Wilmore on TDS, I already have started
skipping 2 or 3 of his episodes each week - and that is with the half hour
after TDS still part of my automatic DVR subscription from the old TDS/CR
Comedy Hour. At this point in my life I am not a comedy junkie who has to watch
every average or better comedy program on television. I watched CR, and TDS,
because they are extra special (as is the Oliver show on HBO). If they pull
some funny guy or gal off of the Youtube who makes the young folks laugh (which
I think is almost certainly what they should do), I don't have much confidence
that will become the kind of program that will resonate much with me. I will
have to concentrate on nightly Colbert and weekly Oliver.--
