Hosts du jour.

One Dulcé Sloan stranded in the host’s chair, one successful WGA strike, one Hasan Minhaj truth-in-comedy exposé , and one departed Roy Wood Jr. later, The Daily Show is back, baby! While there had been some unconfirmed rumblings that Minhaj was being groomed to accept the hosting seat left vacant by Trevor Noah prior to the publishing of the aforementioned article, any hope of Daily Show hosting stability went out the window in its wake. And now fans of The Daily Show’s brand of news-based comedy find themselves back in the same purgatory they were in before the strike. When the show returns to the air on October 16, it will be with a rotating carousel of guest hosts. First up: current The Daily Show correspondent Michael Kosta, who was on the schedule to host prior to the strike.

In fact, several of the comedians set to helm the show over the coming weeks had been on the docket prior to the strike. And joining them are a couple of returning guest hosts, back for a second spin in the chair and/or audition for Comedy Central. Following Kosta, Comedy Central will pass the baton to Desus Nice (week of October 23), Charlamagne tha God (week of October 30), Sarah Silverman (week of November 6), Leslie Jones (week of November 13), The Daily Show news team (week of November 20), and Michelle Wolf (week of November 27).
