Ever sinceMarvelstar Trevor Noah leftThe Daily Showin December 2022, there has been no permanent host on the show. Stars including Sarah Silverman, John Leguizamo, Kal Pen, Leslie Jones, Al Franken, Hasan Minhaj, Charlamagne Tha God, Michelle Wolf, Desus Nice, Lewis Black, and Ronny Chieng took over the late-night show desk as guest hosts in Trevor’s absence.
Since its debut on June 07, 2025, the show has been hosted by various stars, including Craig Kilborn (the original host), Jon Stewart (1999–2015), and of course our very own Trevor Noah from 2015 to 2022. And now, the show makers are looking to find a permanent replacement for the same. A former colleague of Noah, Hasan Minhaj, is reportedly among the leading candidates to take overThe Daily Showas host.

Who is likely to be the new host ofThe Daily Show?
The producers haven’t settled on a replacement for Noah yet, although American comedian Hasan Minhaj, who is of Indian descent, has been in the lead. Minhaj previously worked as the senior correspondent forThe Daily Showfrom 2014 to 2018.
He got his first chance to work on the show when Jon Stewart was the host. After that, Noah and Minhaj worked together onThe Daily Showfor four years. Minhaj, who was known for his sharp wit and efficiency in tackling complex issues humorously, left the show in 2018 to become the host of his own talk show,Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj.
Moreover, Hasan Minhaj took over as the show’s guest host afterTrevor Noahabruptly left it, and the audience enjoyed him in that role. So, he is seen as the front-runner to host the show considering his prior stint with it and his popularity.
However, Comedy Central has not finalized anything yet. So, fans are eagerly waiting for the official announcement.
