The Daily Show: 10 Hosts Who Should Replace Jon Stewart

2. Wyatt Cenac

John Oliver has gone off to pastures new, but might be too busy with his new job. The news that The Daily Show is looking for a new host must've gotten the attention of some of the other correspondents who started their career there, however, who perhaps wouldn't have to contend with abandoning their own award-winning satirical news show. Somebody like Wyatt Cenac? Besides Oliver, he's probably the best-known of the recent Daily Show performers who left in search of new challenges. His drawling, poker-faced delivery whilst tackling important, often forgotten news stories made him one of the best correspondents the show's had. He has an idea of how both the behind-the-scenes and hosting sides work €“ he also previously worked on the writing staff of King Of The Hill €“ and starred in some of The Daily Show's all-time best segments. He left in 2012 and has been somewhat quiet since €“ perhaps it's time Cenac came home.
