Samantha Bee should get it. If not her: bring back Wyatt Cenac.

I don't know why people aren't talking about Aasif Mandvi. He's hilarious (and wouldn't be a boring white guy). I guess he's kind of old, at 48 (about the same age as Stewart and Colbert).

Not sure if they need someone young for that show, but:

Stewart 1962
Colbert 1964
Mandvi 1966

I guess most just don't find Aasif Mandvi funny - I also though his repertoire is a bit too simple.

Sorry to go against pro-diversity hire grain, but with Wilmore replacing Colbert and doing seemingly nothing but minority jokes so far in the episodes I've caught, I really hope they keep the Daily Show hosted by a "boring white guy." I have nothing against Mandvi or Bee or Cenac or Madrigal getting shows. Actually I'd prefer all of them to have replaced Colbert than Wilmore, who I never really liked, but I feel like two non-white males in the hour block would be compelled to spend too much time on minority/womens issues and make it unwatchable. Also, when you're going up against FOX and cable news BS as the main source of comedy, I feel like it comes stronger against those types if a white male is delivering it.

The only possible exception would be a Kristen Schaal host, who is too awesome to contain.

Not sure why you think a female host would need to spend a lot of time talking about "womens issues". T

Schaal strikes me as a "one trick pony", not sure she would work. I find Madrigal and Mandvi unfunny. Madriagal to a "why is this guy a comedian?" degree.

Joke?

Worst possible choice.

Incidentally, is there any actual serious buzz about Tina Fey as a potential replacement, or is this simply Atlas dreaming like the inclusion of Biden on the list? If so, sure she's got the fake news anchor thing down pat, but can she interview anywhere near as well as Stewart?

Neither a dream, nor connected to Atlas. It is an obvious joke made several places.
