Is there not ONE woman who could have taken over the Daily Show? [View all]

Honestly, there was NO woman who could have taken over for Jon Stewart? None whatsoever?

I have no problem with Trevor Noah, in fact I'm glad to see a person of color get such a plum assignment. It's about time they got away from the White Guy thing and Larry Wilmore was a good start. But come on - there isn't one single woman who could do as well?

Signed,

Maybe Fey, Peohler, and others did not want a job that meant so much of a time commitment? djean111 Mar 2015 #4

Jessica Williams, anyone? YoungDemCA Mar 2015 #5

She didn't think she was qualified yet. F4lconF16 Mar 2015 #7
