Fingers still crossed for Tiny Fey or Amy Poehler or John Mayer or Aasif Mandvi or Wyatt Cenac.
I entered that contest to get tickets to the last show, but since I only put in enough money to be a supporter and they're doing the thing where the more money you donate the better your chances are I think my chances of winning are really slim.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.Maybe Seth Rollins will be able to host The Daily Show after all.

The Selma episode from Monday night was simultaneously heartwarming and disheartening.
Heartwarming because how can you not be overwhelmed by John Lewis' story? It's so inspiring.
Disheartening because CNN chose to cover the Selma anniversary by masturbating on air over their new camera drone; and Fox News got all fired up over President Bush being cropped out of a photo of the marchers.
Miss the message much, folks?

With Jason Jones and Samantha Bee gone, I think that makes them the last remaining "senior" correspondents.
Like creepy stories? Check out my book!Aren't all the correspondents "senior" ones?
Sam and Jason are arguably the last of the classic correspondents to leave, though. They've been on the show for a long, long, long time. Sam joined the show in 2003, Jason in 2005. Aasif actually joined in 2006, so he's not that far behind Jason. So I guess he could still count as a classic correspondent.
Still, the others all joined within the past 4 years. (Al Madrigal in 2011, Jessica Williams in 2012, Jordan Klepper and Hasan Minhaj in 2014.
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.The "senior" bit is a gag. Whenever someone is introduced for a segment, they are always the "senior [x] correspondent", where [x] is something ridiculously narrow.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Aasif isn't leaving, is he?
I'm sure Sam will get her own send-off. She was on the show even longer than Jason.
And I actually like the current correspondents. I think they're all really good. I'm especially hoping for a lot more from the South African guy, whose name I forget.
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.He could work. A fresh face with late-night and comedy chops. I really liked his material so far on the show.

Man, I feel bad for Jessica Williams, because ultimately what's gonna happen is she'll be forced to host just by default.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.
