This man has a degree in broadcast journalism, has hosted multiple radio shows and is a working comic endorsed by Jon Stewart himself. My vote is for Roy Wood Jr hands down.

[@fryyoidberg3471]

Mr. Wood Jr. for perm Host!!!!!!!!! Greetz from Germany

[@garenburnerchannel3936]

John Oliver endorsed him too!

[@Woozlewuzzleable]

He was my favorite host so far, especially out of the correspondents. It comes very natural to him, his style reminds me of John Oliver. It feels like he's impovising instead of reading from a teleprompter.

[@relmcmillan]

💯💯💯💯

[@ZERO_O7X]

Him and Jordan Kleppers segment on police racism and bias from a few years ago is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[@Junksaint]

Exactly, he needs to remain a part of the show or the executives don't know what they're doing lol

[@Ohanarhythmz]

Its because he actually has a journalism degree from an actual college.

[@Ohanarhythmz]

Plus the very fact that hes funny.

[@asnpride]

Roy Wood Jr. is my favorite comedian right now. He is so funny. I like his style of comedy. 😆

[@mxyrpancakes]

I hope that Roy becomes the permanent host of the daily show. He is so attuned to the world and centers his Blackness in fresh ways

[@StephenDix]

He was pitch perfect. Exactly the voice we need right now.

[@sherrythorne9516]

Absolute Facts !!!!

[@sr2401]

I’d watch the Daily Show if he was the host

[@casper8464]

@@sr2401 ​ I don't watch the daily show anymore (for over a year), but I do keep coming back for ronnie and roy. Jordan was great too!

[@tonyafrica7085]

Why don’t they just give it to him?

[@vickyabramowitz2885]

Roy Wood, Jr. killed it at the White House Correspondent's Dinner. That's what sealed it for me.

[@NilyakEtap]

Right!

[@FCiddy]

Yes please

[@koh9894]

They probably still negotiating

[@koh9894]

We all know he could hold it down well

[@caitrina19]

Though provoking, actual hard news, not shying away from the topics, sometimes shocking people out of complacency, and funny as all heck! We need you and your voice Roy!

[@sherryhamill2438]

Roy Wood Jr. has been a major asset to The Daily Show, I look forward to seeing what he does next. Best of luck in the next chapter.

[@sleapyGazelle]

All the hosts have done well but Roy is the best! He’d be a unique and excellent voice as permanent host

[@ggrrtt33]

Give him the job!!! This show will be legendary 💥

[@TheUglyDoctor]

Roy Wood Jr is all I need to see in my notifications to click and watch cause I know I'm about to giggle 😂

[@dr.zombiex]

Facts

[@Nilnot]

Jon will be fun to watch again, but Roy was the actual correct answer for the future of the show. It’s their loss

[@cristinebriones20]

ROY DESERVE TO HOST THE DAILY SHOW HE IS BTILLIANT

[@vwbiped42]

Roy has the kind of ethical foundation and moral compass that makes him a worthy successor to John and Trevor. All the current correspondents are great, but I respect Roy’s integrity and his sense of responsibility; if you haven’t seen his White House correspondents dinner speech, go check it out.

[@vailpcs4040]

Roy is great, would love to see more of him hosting.

[@NicChristie]

man - I am hooked on RWJ. his delivery and understanding of how comedy works is absolute genius.

[@richhabrams1898]

Roy Wood Jr for President.......Too soon?!

[@kidkong637]

Thank you for bringing attention to Trump’s bizarre hand gestures. I’ve been wondering about that for years. Your explanation rules! ✌🏼

[@DennisMoore664]

Team hosting by Roy Wood and Jordan Klepper. They've done plenty of stories together so the chemistry is there. And everyone else can run the desk when Roy and/or Jordan go out in the field - gotta have more "Fingers the Pulse".

[@nikkigilley6924]

Yesss!!!!! I've been saying that to everyone I know!!! Partner those 2 up!!

[@Mister006]

👍🏽I 👍🏽need👍🏽more👍🏽thumbs👍🏽for 👍🏽Roy Wood Jr. and the team's👍🏽EXPERT 👍🏽analysis!!!👍🏽

[@shawndillon4930]

…minus the jerking motion like trump…,🤣😂🤣

[@biboibio]

This man deserves the host job!

[@70foolio]

I love Roy Wood Jr. He is so funny. 😂😅😊

[@michaellowe527]

Roy hits closest to home (as host). 🙏

[@essilevi07ify]

He is the best of the best..period!!

[@justinbrown2212]

Roy needs to be the host. He is exactly what this show needs, and even Jon Stewart gave his blessing. I've been here since the bush administration, Roy is the future.

[@nooobiechild]

Roy has the Jon Stewart seal of approval. That should be more than enough. I would gladly take Desi as a permanent host if they wanted to go that direction, but Roy is IT for me. He's the perfect next candidate for the daily show. Stop delaying the inevitable guys, you'll get flaked no matter who you pick. Roy is the obvious best choice and everyone knows it. P.S. If they gave the position to Dulce, bye.

[@nooobiechild]

@Jason No audition is going to go on forever. This isn't the Voice. Roy is the clear front-runner, and the obvious best choice. The daily show just gotta accept the fact that there will be backlash no matter who they choose because that's just how the internet is these days - actively looking for things to get offended by, things that don't concern or relate to them.

[@Dailymemes9000]

​@@nooobiechildthats great but there will always be people who think otherwise. and i always say political satire is not always funny. Some topics are just terrible. They can only do so much. I tune in to the daily show for two things only. Personality and the news. Yes... im that guy... im the guy who gets news from plsces like seth Myers and daily show. Its the only way you can these days without losing your head. I think this guest host run made people realize how many people they can choose from. It wasn’t alot for people to choose from. But out of the mix roy was great. I still think people will find something to compliment about tho

[@annebergsma6927]

I love this guy.

[@fishbone2921]

Roy is the best !

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

His standup is just as informed by world events as this show has been

[@markgigiel2722]

The only guest host to get Jon on.

[@CL88Rembert]

Please give Roy Wood Jr this show!

[@parsegov1]

Roy for permanent host!

[@JacobHalton]

Permanent host Roy Wood Jr.!!!

[@Ohanarhythmz]

Roy definitely deserve your time as host. Everyweek.

[@clevelandsblockheads6173]

5:29 "They make the playoffs every year." I nearly choked to death.

[@sofialovesmonkeys]

Can we petition for Roy to be Permanent Host please?

[@shanekitlas6995]

Roy wood jr. All day.

[@rogeliobajado2940]

He is a natural comedian I like his style

[@lynnkalles2055]

I could definitely watch Roy every night for the rest of my life 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MeineAnny]

Roy wood jr is the best to be the host there

[@TonyOldFish]

Just let Roy be the new host!!

[@Room142]

He's 100% hands down my pick for new host. He's laugh out loud funny. But also goofy, warm, smart, and kinda wholesome. He also isn't preachy at all, which was a problem for some hosts (especially Hassan)

[@rockin2294]

Keep Roy as host!

[@irishbob26]

Roy for president!

[@justinbarnes6833]

Roy Wood Jr. is the best!

[@daking901]

MAKE ROY THE HOST!!!

[@megmoore335]

I think it would be great if they did a "meet the press" type of host situation. Different hosts have their regular days, and then have the special guest hosts. I have loved all of the hosts they've had, as well as the daily show correspondents having paid their dues and moving up!

[@mariannazut2622]

Second that plan, I love a appreciated them all.

[@StephenDix]

MTP on CC? OK!

[@nowwhat5888]

I love ❤️ 😍 The Daily Show. When I am feeling down. The Daily Show to the rescue 😊

[@Rika216]

I've been waiting for this one!

[@ialwaysshine.]

Roy is awesome! It was funny when I watched in April and it’s still funny now! When Roy becomes the permanent host 🙏🏾 let him be him! Don’t try to mold him into someone else, Viacom!

[@sufianahmat5334]

Roy Wood Jr for the daily show host

[@medusagorgon8432]

This dude!😅😂 Roy is THE BEST!

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

Awesome stuff. Roy Woods is hilarious and brilliant.

[@DinoRubble]

If feel I learned far too much about myself when Chipotle argued a “similar font” and my brain screamed: NOOOO! One is serifed the other is not! They’re not even in the same family of fonts! For shame, Chipotle, for shame.”

[@colaboytje]

Please Comedy Central: Give the show to Roy and Desi.

[@kbbrown3588]

I say let roy be the new host of the show

[@harpergirll414]

Bring back Roy!

[@Seldomane]

I'm gonna open a restaurant called "Ketchup" and sue anyone that uses the word in their food. Loopholes for lawyers ftw.

[@susanfox8744]

Roy Wood Jr, you were great at that corresponds dinner. Hilarious! They should make you anchor.

[@pamelalubrein2888]

I know Roy would do an excellent Job, just give it to im

[@MauiMauiMe]

END THE WRITERS STRIKE! Thank you for providing us with Roy-re-runs.

[@Diablo3364]

The writer strike will end when they get better pay.

[@Crackalacking_Z]

The Junior's Wood is killing it, that dude is slappin' it all kinds of hard XD

[@kuromi23803]

They make the playoffs every year 😂😂😂😂😂 That's the same thing as blowing 😢😢😂😂😂

[@PattisKarriereKarten]

04:40 that guy looked like an overweight version of Will Smith 😅

[@stefanhoimes]

Promote this man!

[@harpergirll414]

We need Woods as host!

[@JohnChapman7]

I really enjoy his CP Time segments. Let's normalize elevating Black history throughout the year.

[@keitho8131]

Seriously. I don't see how they have a choice but to give the job to all three. They are all so awesome

[@wlam8925]

Roy is in another league

[@Ohanarhythmz]

Im hispanis and Roy is right on the the Chipotle Burrito bowl or anywhere that sells a burrito bowl, there's no such thing. Thats literally called a carne asada plate or whatever meat u choose.

[@firerun777]

Roy and Ronnie Chang together could destroy America if they hosted together

[@rebaburn2677]

❤ love Roy

[@essilevi07ify]

Amazing..😂

[@sandymay2212]

I miss you guys 💜so much 💜💜💜

[@mammawlee]

'Who goes to court and goes after the judge?" Yesh. If l did that, l would be held in contempt - even if l was innocent and being libeled!!!

[@reclamationyoga5636]

Ayyyyyyyyeeeeeee FAMU!!!

[@dodgermaven]

Just have Roy Wood, Jr. be the new permanent host.

Roy is the best! Give him the hosting gig!! 😆😭😂

[@meganann3876]

Roy. You’re my favorite.

[@richellegill8442]

As much as I love Desus Nice, I really like Roy!!! He actually made me laugh multiple times and was not as nervous.

This is soooooo funny! Thank you from NW Alaska.

Excellent!

[@ty-chi]

These 2 I will watch them every night

Stellar.

AWESOMENESS

[@jh61]

Its kinda fun to see them all taking turns in June 2024, is Roy still doing the show? I sure hope so. He’s great. oh snap...i googled it...he's left after 8 years. :(

[@dancecultureredefined462]

Men Trump is totally toasted even if he makes it out of court. Every bit of this 23 minutes was amazing

[@nitapeacock5256]

Great job Roy!!!!

[@cannibalbananas]

"Sorry. Did I say I wanted pudding? I could've sworn I wanted a sam'mich." 😂😂😂

[@redolentthought7085]

Roy, Jordan and Desi should all co-host, with any two of em taking the studio and the third can do either work in the actual field or segments "in the field"

[@banke1a1]

I vote for DAILY SHOW WITH ROY WOOD JUNIOR

[@ericforrest3511]

Love this guy

[@lazyperfectionist1]

22:58 "More and more Americans are asking themselves 'Is a college degree still _worth_ it?'" There are 22 countries in the world that don't charge college tuition. They don't charge a single red cent to _domestic_ students, applicants from _other_ countries, or applicants from the _US._ Can we stop treating the world like it stops existing at our border?

[@Maya_Pinion]

Education! Educate urself! A dumb America is a sad,dangerous thing.oh yeah,so that's what happened to us. PS: ❤️ me some Roy.

[@brianmelendy1194]

Perhaps the cops will be ready to deal with the dumb dumbs this time.

[@EstebanDeLaVille]

I was pleasantly surprised that I liked most guest hosts, but my favorites on the role have been Roy, Desi, Keppler, Leguizamo, Kal Penn and Al Franken (though I may be forgetting someone)

[@aggressivelyrelaxing155]

This could be hours long
