wow its official. I wonder how many people they swung and missed on, id guess quite a few
ugh, this is like watching the post-Skip Wake Forest bball coaching search all over again
The dude only appeared on the Daily Show three times and he gets the head gig? WTF hire. And from what I've seen, he's not funny, at all.

He's only 31 but he's been doing this kind of thing a long time. Look up his career.
After doing so myself, I'm convinced Noah was Stewart's hand-picked successor. Stewart clearly has a deep appreciation for people who do what he does around the globe. Noah had his own late night show on South African TV. He did acting as well as news, sports, and entertainment reporting. He has a stand up comedy career.
This would explain why Jones and Bee are leaving and why there was never a public list of candidates.
how much of the Daily Show is the writing staff?

Heard Comedy Central pursued 3 big-ass names for Daily Show: Poehler, Louis CK, Schumer. Went 0 for 3. Young/cheap/upside was smart audible.

WTF? Shumer is the only person I could see even considering that offer.

it's definitely something you consider when john stewart is making 25-30 million per year. not that i am surprised they turned it down but do that for a few years and, like stewart, you have f u money and can walk away.
Stewart also has much less flexibility than they do, especially Louis CK.
