Hasan Minhaj, Marlon Wayans, and more have been tapped as guest hosts for 'The Daily Show.'
Comedy Central has officially set the lineup of guest hosts for the next several weeks of The Daily Show. Starting on February 27, comedian Hasan Minhaj will take the desk formerly held by host Trevor Noah for the week followed by Marlon Wayans on the week of March 6, Kal Penn on the week of March 13, Al Franken on the week of March 20, and John Leguizamo on March 27.
Altogether, it's another strong group of celebrities brought in to fill the vacancy left by Noah until a permanent host can be found. Minhaj is an especially fitting host considering he's a former Daily Show correspondent with his own issue-driven comedy Patriot Act and experience writing for the 2017 White House Correspondence Association Dinner.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Franken brings arguably the most political experience of the guest hosts yet as a former senator with a background as an SNL writer and political media personality. He also got the opportunity to host Jimmy Kimmel Live! last August as one of many guest hosts. This will be the latest move in his return to the public eye after his controversial resignation from the senate for sexual misconduct allegations.
Handler seems like a strong candidate to take the reins going forward. During an episode of The Daily Beast's The Last Laugh podcast, the longtime Chelsea Lately host spoke about wanting to take the desk permanently. She has plenty of experience between her own shows, a guest hosting gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and strong comedic chops, but she was also previously floated to replace the legendary David Letterman.
More details on correspondents and future guests will be announced at a later date. In the meantime, check out Handler's recent comedian roundtable on the show below.
