Several of you have called to my attention the fact that Samantha Bee's show on TBS has been canceled. I missed the news. Thank you, Roger Green, for that link. Does this mean she's in the running for the host job on The Daily Show? I dunno. Except in the news business, TV networks don't usually like to pick up a show or star that's just been dropped by the competition but there have been exceptions. Will Ms. Bee be one? I have no idea. I also wasn't predicting that it will be Jordan Klepper. I just think it should be.
Remember that no one predicted Trevor Noah to succeed Jon Stewart just as no one predicted James Corden to replace Craig Ferguson…or Craig Ferguson to replace Craig Kilborn…or Conan O'Brien to replace David Letterman or Jimmy Fallon to replace Conan O'Brien…
The last part of the Blackhawk article will probably be up here on Monday. Spoiler Alert: The book gets canceled.
