Roy Wood Jr. Leaves ‘The Daily Show’
“Know Your Worth” has been the central theme of 2023, and in keeping with said theme, Roy Wood Jr. is leaving The Daily Show after eight years as a correspondent. His exit comes as Comedy Central execs search far and wide for a new host when the obvious choice is right under their nose. The show has been anchored by guest hosts, including Wood, since Trevor Noah’s departure last December.
In a statement to NPR, Wood said, “I can’t come up with Plan B is while still working with Plan A.” He also posted another statement to his Instagram page, where he thanked the network and said that he was “excited to nurture new ideas.”
