The former correspondent says he could still return as host if Comedy Central wants to hire him for the job.
Almost two weeks after announcing that he is departing the late-night show after eight years because he had not been hired as its permanent host, Wood went onof his potential return as host. "I just don't want to do work in the meantime … I was shocked at the decision myself because No. 1, we were in a strike. Who do you know come off strike and then quit the job? ... That wasn't the plan.
"But while you got your process, I need to have my process," he says. "So I'm going to be over here making sure all my ducks are in a row as well, in case that doesn't end up the way that I hope. And the job of correspondent … it's not easy. It's not like hard labor but it is a mentally stressful job, so I want to make sure that I remove the stress from my space so I have space to figure out what's next for myself in case I'm not in that chair come January.
