Trevor Noah's 'Daily Show' Host Spot Could Be Filled by Roy Wood Jr - TMZ
we're told he's in the running to take over for Trevor Noah as the next host on "The Daily Show.".
With that in mind, we're told CC execs view Roy as a natural fit to be promoted to host ...but he's NOT been personally told he's even a candidate to replace Trevor.
Still, we're told it's unclear if Roy knew Trevor was leaving the show before the sudden announcement.
