It's whoever comes in after Trevor will never have it as bad as Trevor.
It's the you know, the you don't want to be the guy that replaces the guy.
You want to be the guy that replaces the guy that, you know, Trevor also was far more unknown domestically.
He was huge internationally, but he was far more far less long, less known domestically at the time.
I don't envy what he had to do in replacing Jon Stewart.
I just think that when we talk about who the next host is, be it me, I know Hasan Minhaj's name is in the hat.
There's a couple of the guest hosts that we've had.
Some of the ladies, their names are in the hat.
So regardless of who comes in, there's also a bigger question of what is late night after the strike and with the changing economics and blah, blah, blah.
Like that is a question that also has to be answered.
To me, the bigger question is, what is the show going to be?
Because if somebody goes, oh, you should host the Daily Show, what I hear is you should host the pre-Trevor version of the show, the pre-COVID whatever of the show.
I don't think fiscally most late night shows, any new iterations of late night shows, I don't think they're going to look like that anymore because I just don't know if the networks are committed to putting that type of money into that type of product anymore.
And that's a question you can't answer because of the strike.
So I can't call you and go, hey, are you really going to put some money in this shit?
OK, cool.
Leave my name in the hat or take my name out of that.
But in the meantime, I can't wait.
Amen.
Give me 50 cities.
