Kal Penn, Hasan Minhaj and Trevor Noah
American actor of Indian descent Kal Penn will be replacing Trevor Noah as the host of The Daily Show. Penn, who hosted the show as a guest host from March 13 to 16, is among four leading candidates, including Hasan Minhaj, who could be tapped as a permanent host, according to a source close to the decision-making process.
The late-night Comedy Central programme has been seeking a permanent host to replace Noah since he left The Daily Show in December 2022. The show has been cycling through various guest hosts, including a slew of celebrities, from February to March, before TDS correspondents and contributors like Roy Wood Jr, Desi Lydic and Jordan Klepper took over hosting for subsequent months.
