“There’s no question who should replace Trevor Noah on the Daily Show. Birmingham is riding with roywoodjr,” Birmingham Mayor RandallWoodfin said via Twitter. “Run him his check!” Roy Wood Jr., 43, is a Birmingham native.
“Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that Comedy Central executives view Roy as someone who could potentially become the next face of ‘TDS’,”. The report added that Wood’s contract is coming up for renewal and Comedy Central execs consider him “a natural fit” to replace Noah.
Noah, a standup comedian from South Africa who’s been at the helm of “The Daily Show” for seven years, announced on Sept. 29 that he’d be exiting the late-night TV show. His Twitter post gave no date for his departure -- and Noah didn’t point to his pick for a successor -- but speculation has been running rampant ever since.
Other prospective candidates for the job, according to media buzz, include Amber Ruffin, Samantha Bee, Ronny Chieng and Jordan Klepper.
