Extra.

“Can I just say fuck AI, fuck AI, fuck AI?” the comedian, actor, and rotating host of The Daily Show asked in his keynote speech during the Class Day celebration on Wednesday. The crowd at Tercentenary Theatre, made up of the graduating Class of 2026 and their friends and families, answered him with a roar of approval.

I think Josh Johnson is the best choice, to be honest - my only issue with him is that he might be too young.

Regardless, I think the best choice would have been Roy Wood Jr. but that ship has long since sailed.

The dude is 36. The same age as Jon when he took over.

Josh is the perfect example of "black don't crack"

I was hoping for Roy Wood Jr. I was sad when he left.

Same. But, it's important to remember he specifically left because he was passed over for the host position.

Basically said something to the effect of "if there's nothing to work towards I'd rather not be here in anymore" which I completely understand and respect.

Edit: Here's a source for my above statement. Relevant section:

The reason: Since he hasn't been offered the job as permanent host of the show, Wood wants some time to figure out his next act.
