53 Days

I asked here what Comedy Central was going to air in the Daily Show timeslot between now and September 28 when Trevor Noah debuts as host. I got my answer from a friend at the network there…

No guest hosts, no new shows at all. They're going to mix Jon Stewart reruns with old standup specials and other special programming. There was a rumor they were going to move Larry Wilmore up to 11:00 for a few weeks but I haven't heard anything more about that so I guess it's not going to happen.

Eight weeks of reruns? That seems like enough time to get America out of the habit of tuning in at that hour. But maybe they know what they're doing…
