Louis CK Won’t Watch the Daily Show Without Jon Stewart; Michael Che Suggests a Replacement
Whoever is the next host of the Daily Show on Comedy Central is already going to lose viewers. Well, at least one.
Louis CK says he won’t watch the series anymore after host Jon Stewart leaves. Esquire talked to both Louis and Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchorman Michael Che about the Daily Show situation on the Red Carpet of SNL 40.
Louis said, “I think that was his show, it’s his show. I probably won’t watch whoever it is. I love Jon Stewart.”
Michael Che who was a correspondent on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart before landing his SNL gig, said being the new host of the Comedy Central show is going to be rough job. “Aw man, that’s a tough act to follow. I really feel for the person that has to follow Jon Stewart’s footsteps because he’s an amazing performer. How do you follow Jon Stewart? It has to be somebody that has a completely different thing that can bring a lot to it… But somebody can do it.”
But Michael Che did have an interesting suggestion. “I’d like to see Norm do it! That’d be fun! The Daily Show with Norm Macdonald? That’d be hilarious… He’d probably run me out of business and be the funniest guy doing news. That’d be great to see.”
Che had some other ideas as well including Sarah Silverman and also David Letterman swapping host chairs and moving from the Late Show to the Daily Show.
