‘SNL’ alum Leslie Jones is behind the desk as ‘The Daily Show’'s first guest host after Trevor Noah's departure.
The Daily ShowJon Stewart,
from January 11, 1999, until August 6, 2015; and Noah, from September 28, 2015, until December 8, 2022. Jones is the first of five comedians lined up to guest hostin one-week increments, but the possibilities are endless as to who will book the gig full-time, and when that host will be appointed. While Jones isn’t necessarily known for her political comedy, she bounced between the news stories with her signature verve and commitment, tickling the audience. She began the show by discussing the most recent political scandal:’s classified documents being found in a garage near his Corvette. “This is a national security emergency, okay? A man this old with access to a Corvette?” she quipped, before breaking into a bit of the song “Greased Lightnin’.
Jones really came alive when she was given the space to be her irreverent self and talk about issues that were closer to her own experience as a Black woman. In a segment about the controversial statue of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King recently unveiled in Boston, Jones had the audience in fits describing how the statue looked a lot like, well, cunnilingus. “I got to talk to white people for a second,” she said.
