A year ago Seth Meyers would have been a great choice but he's booked. Wanda Sykes would actually be great at this . -- nm - pmb Feb 11, 08:18
John Oliver -- nm - decline Feb 11, 07:00
I'm not sure it rests on finding someone funny so much as finding someone with a low tolerance for BS, populist ideals, and the ability to - TWuG Feb 11, 06:51 8
- "populist ideals" translation "somebody who liberals under 50 like" -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 07:17 4
  - I bumped into Barney Frank yesterday btw... - Mel Profit Feb 11, 07:57
  - Pretty much, I mean, the Tea Party movement is populist, but Ted Cruz would not be a popular host. -- nm - Roger More Feb 11, 07:51
  - Well, smart people under 50. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:30
  - Justin Trudeau!! -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 07:19
- Actually, Crag Ferguson could take over the show and make it a bit of a combo of TDS and the Colbert Report -- nm - TWuG Feb 11, 06:56
- what is Jon going to be doing instead? -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 06:52 1
  - He hasn't said. I hope it's something huge that follows the primaries and election next year. - TWuG Feb 11, 06:55
i wonder who would be up for the daily grind of it. -- nm - Diva Feb 11, 06:37
Brian Williams (his guest bits on 30 Rock show he can be funny...plus he loves fake news) -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 06:36 1
- This is great. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 06:37
steve carrell. someone that wont last more than six months, then hopefully they get someone awesome. -- nm - Truman Feb 11, 06:35
I think they'll get someone already working on the show, or someone who used to work on it. -- nm - Inigo Feb 11, 06:34 1
- Steve Carell! -- nm - David Feb 11, 06:53
Craig Kilborn -- nm - Strongbad Feb 11, 06:29
Tina Fey. No clue on the second part. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 06:14
some choices I have read: - Beaker Feb 11, 06:05 16
- One post I read suggested Kristen Schaal. - Ender Feb 11, 06:38 5
  - Only if she does it as her Archer character. -- nm - David Feb 11, 07:13
  - I'd support keeping Gitmo open for the expressed purpose of detaining her. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 06:51 3
    - Unacceptable. I need her to keep being Mabel. - Kim Pine Feb 11, 07:13 1
      - They can film her scenes from Gitmo. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 11, 07:37
    - Heh. I knew what your reaction would be. -- nm - kelly Feb 11, 06:57
- Jessica Williams is the only one of those that isn't terrible. -- nm - David Feb 11, 06:25 3
  - Tina Fey is awesome! -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 07:39
  - Well, John Oliver is awesome but I can't imagine him leaving HBO. - Kim Pine Feb 11, 06:28 1
    - Oliver would be a net loss. He's already where he's supposed to be. -- nm - David Feb 11, 06:52
- whoever it is gong to be thats not an easy act to follow so it's probably the worst job on TV - DaneDukeNuuk Feb 11, 06:23
- I'd love to see Oswalt in that gig -- nm - St Pippy's Day Massacre Feb 11, 06:23 1
  - I don't see him doing the politics or the interviews well. I love him and think he's hysterical but - Krusty Feb 11, 06:43
- i doubt oliver would leave his current gig. fey would be the only one of those that seems decent. -- nm - Truman Feb 11, 06:16
- I think I would actively hate Joel McHale in this role. -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 06:15
- Most of those would likely end my watching of the show. -- nm - Krusty Feb 11, 06:15
