The Daily Show continues to add funny folk to its roster.
The Comedy Central series introduced another new face last night, Grace Kuhlenschmidt.
Kuhlenschmidt is a stand-up comedian, actress and writer, who recurred in the final season of Max’s Search Party and was in the first season of Peacock’s Killing It.
During last night’s show, hosted by Desus Nice, Kuhlenschmidt was introduced in a skit alongside contributor Michael Kosta. Now that we have an answer to the question of whether one should take $500,000 or lunch with Jay-Z (Jay said take the money), the duo were answering the question themselves.
Kuhlenschmidt said that you should “definitely have lunch with Jay-Z” as he “probably has Beyonce’s phone number”.
Kuhlenschmidt, who was recognized as a New Faces: Creators by Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, also appeared in the first season of Showtime’s Ziwe and wrote for Audible podcast Hot White Heist,...

The Daily Show is currently going through a lineup of guest hosts as it continues to search for a permanent one.
Last night, the Comedy Central show debuted a new twist – two hosts behind the desk.
Correspondents Michael Kosta, who has been hosting this week, the show’s first week back since the writers strike, and Ronny Chieng joined forces on Thursday night’s show.
It marked the first time that the show had two hosts behind the desk, a strategy that has been proposed as a new format going forward.
Last year, Deadline revealed that The Daily Show was considering hosting duos and trios to replace Trevor Noah with correspondents including Desi Lydic as a potential contender.
Chieng, who has starred in movies including M3gan and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, said, “Tonight, you’re getting two hosts for the price of one.”

The Daily Show is back with another group of guest hosts, some more familiar to the show than others.
Leslie Jones and Sarah Silverman are getting a second week behind the desk along with some other all-stars and show correspondents.
Jones hosted during the first week of the Comedy Central show’s return after Trevor Noah’s exit in January and will get another shot. She is thought to have been one of the names on a Paramount shortlist to get the job permanently, although some sources have cautioned that she might not want the job full-time.
That shortlist is also believed to include Chelsea Handler, who has regularly lobbied for the job, most recently during a spot on The Tonight Show, and is widely liked within the company after her appearance in February, as well as Hasan Minhaj, who was understood to have been close to landing the job...

The Daily Show used to have a white host?
Guest host and correspondent Roy Wood Jr. was joined by former host Jon Stewart in a bid to help him go viral, aiding his cause to get the desk job on a permanent basis.
Stewart, dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi, appeared on Wood Jr.’s second day in the hot seat, otherwise known as Donald Trump Arraignment Day.
“I used to work here when the budget wasn’t as big,” joked Stewart. “You’re doing a fabulous job by the way.”
Stewart’s entrance came after Wood Jr. discussed the first indictment of a U.S. President.
“I’m trying to go viral this week. There’s a lot of pressure as guest host. You’ve got to be funny. You’ve got to be satirical. You’ve got to be powerful. You’ve got to go viral, and I don’t know what to do,...

Exclusive: The Daily Show has been ticking along nicely with its phalanx of guest hosts including Chelsea Handler, Leslie Jones and Kal Penn.
The producers of the Comedy Central series are currently weighing up how they replace Trevor Noah in the hot seat come the fall, and one suggestion has been to continue the revolving roster of guest hosts on a permanent basis.
The ratings certainly suggest it’s working.
Comparing the first quarter of 2023 – Leslie Jones kicked off the new format January 17 – with the first quarter of 2022 when Noah was host, Deadline understands that linear ratings are up 13%. On the social side, views are up 16% in this period compared with last year.
Much of this has been done without much marketing; Deadline understands a push is being saved for when the new plan is in place later in the year.

Barack Obama will appear as a guest on the Nov. 17 episode of “The Daily Show With Trevor Noah,” Variety has learned exclusively. The episode airs on Comedy Central at 11 p.m.
In conversation with Noah, the former president will discuss the Obama Foundation Democracy Forum and critical issues facing America and the world today. The interview will be Obama’s third with Noah, and his first in-studio. He previously appeared in a 2020 virtually taped episode, and did one of his final interviews as president with Noah at the White House.
The interview comes the week after the midterm elections that won the Republican party control of the House of Representatives — ending two years headed by the Democrats — and just days after Obama’s successor, the twice impeached Donald Trump, announced his bid to return to the White House in 2024.

“The Daily Show” is hitting the road for midterms again. This fall, host Trevor Noah will take his Comedy Central late-night series to battleground territory in Atlanta, Ga.
While on-the-ground election coverage is nothing new for “The Daily Show,” which has previously moved to Ohio and Florida for midterms, the decision to head to Georgia for the first time is “highlighting key races and broader voting issues,” per the Paramount show. This also marks the show’s first time back on the road in a while, having just returned to its own home studio in New York City back in April following two years of doing the show remotely amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Noah will be recording full “Daily Show” shows from the Tabernacle in downtown Atlanta leading up to election night to cap off the late-night talker’s “Votedemic 2022” midterm election coverage. Episodes are set to air nightly from Oct.

Trevor Noah had never hosted The Daily Show without Donald Trump as President or running for top office until yesterday.
The comedian began hosting the Comedy Central show on September 28, 2015, two months after the former host of Celebrity Apprentice came down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce his run for office.
Jen Flanz, showrunner and exec producer, tells Deadline that the team is now hopeful to be able to have some time to cover stories that do not involve Donald Trump.
“The thing that we’re looking forward to, and I’m not positive that it’s going to happen but I think it will, is that the news cycle won’t be completely dictated by Trump’s Twitter or him firing someone,” she said. “That type of news is a total adrenaline rush but also exhausting and, at some point, becomes a little boring because it’s more of the same.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah is headed south for the midterm elections — Florida to be exact.
The Comedy Central series will set up shop at the Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater for a week of “undesked” shows.

This is the 15th time The Daily Show has hit the road for a special week of episodes. They recently visited Chicago last year in October and it was the first time they filmed the show without a desk — hence “undesked.”

When Stephen Colbert was named as David Letterman’s successor earlier this month, there were some suggestions that “Daily Show” alum John Oliver must be kicking himself for jumping to HBO a few months earlier, when he would have been a lock to succeed Colbert weeknights at 11:30 on Comedy Central. Just don’t suggest this to Oliver, who sounds extremely happy with the deal he made with HBO, which will lead to the debut of “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” on Sunday night at 11. (The first episode will include an interview with former Nsa director Keith Alexander.) Earlier this month, I spoke with Oliver about his hopes for the new show, his experience filling in for Jon Stewart last summer as interim host of “The Daily Show” — including the origins of his Carlos Danger dance — his time as a recurring player on “Community,” and a lot more(*).
