Having already lost Samantha Bee and Jason Jones earlier in the week, Rob Riggle will also be leaving the Daily Show to head for CBS. I’m more bothered by this than I was about the first two, I think, and he’s only been there since 2006. (Apparently – I’ve only been watching it since 2006, ‘cos it’s only been on British TV since 2006.)
So that leaves John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi and new guy Wyatt Cenac, who I’ve thus far not warmed to all that much. I’m hoping that Kristen Schaal moves up to become a regular, since her bits tend to break free of the ‘generic Daily Show correspondent’ a bit more than the others usually do.
Bye Rob, and Samantha and Jason.
