Leslie Jones and Sarah Silverman are each being given a second week of guest hosting duties on Comedy Central’s still-without-a-permanent-host “The Daily Show,” which has been going with a lineup of guests to preside when not impacted by the now-settled writers strike. Jones took the hosting reins in January, the first week after the show returned to the air following Trevor Noah’s departure. (Noah’s final episode aired December 8 of last year.) Jones is hosting the week of November 13, while Silverman – who hosted for a week in February – returns for her second guest host go-around on November 6.

Jones is said to be on the Paramount shortlist of contenders to land the “Daily Show” job full-time, along with late-night talk show vet Chelsea Handler and Hasan Minhaj, the host of this year’s Independent Spirit Awards. A permanent host is expected to join the show in 2024, specific date unknown. It’s unclear if one of those guest hosting over the remainder of the year will be the final choice.
