Comedian opens up about why he quit as Daily Show correspondent, auditioning to replace Trevor Noah, the Hasan Minhaj controversy, and much more
by phone, he’s resting in a hotel room in Napa, California, where he’s in town for a corporate gig. The comedian relishes these quiet moments in between jobs, where he’s able to turn his mind off and “not do shit.” He’s been going full bore for the past year, touring the country performing stand-up shows,’s sudden departure. But right now, the biggest question on his mind is whether he should take a twenty-minute Uber to Sonic for a milkshake or DoorDash it. host.
Think of it like football. The job of correspondent is the wide receiver, and the host is the quarterback. And I don’t know that I’m going to be chosen to host. And if I’m not chosen to host, I don’t know if the new host A) Will Want me, or B) Is running an offense that fits me as a wide receiver. There’s a world where I still get offered the show, and there’s a world where I get offered something else.
Oh geez. OK, back to the self-centered shit. If it’s about him? Then we can question it. But if it’s about the world? I think there’s a way through that. I don’t agree with the comparisons to Smollett or Steve Rannazzisi, and Maher comparing him to Trump in the sense that a lie is a lie to manipulate the opinions of others. Here’s a bigger question: As it was originally told to me, the host ofwas supposed to be announced in June. The strike hit; they can’t announce.
