I'd prefer Desi Lydic, but I also like the format of rotating hosts. Not only does each bring something different, they all also have time to do other good work in different formats.

Presumably the rotating host format stuck because Trevor wanted to leave for more freedom. When Jon went on Trevor's podcast they both discussing how soul sucking the job can be.

As much as I love Josh, I don't want to see doing the Daily Show full-time to cut into his standup career.

Agreed. Post COVID it was clear Trevor Noah wanted a little more freedom (schedule wise) and was part of the reason he left. Similarly Taylor Tomlinson chose not to continue her show in order to focus on her stand-up.

I'm a big fan of Josh, but I don't want to see him give up stand-up. Maybe someday.

I enjoy Josh's beginning segments and how he delivers the bits. I think his interviewing skills have opportunity for improvement. Some of the hosts are better interviewers.

That’s kind of how I feel about all the guest hosts, they’re awesome at the opening segments, but not great interviewers. Ronnie Chieng’s interviews need the most work and Jordan Klepper’s are pretty solid, but they all need improvement. Nobody comes close to Jon Stewart’s interview skills. In terms of raw natural talent, I’m super impressed by Josh Johnson. I think with some more practice he’d be perfect.

I really like the rotating hosts though, I think they should stick with that.

Maybe him and Desi. Cohosting or trading off.
