After four weeks of handing over Tues-Thurs hosting duties to each of primary correspondents, The Daily Show is pairing two of them together this week with Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta set to share the desk.
It’s not the first time the show has tapped two correspondents to co-host (Michael Kosta & Ronny Chieng were paired one night last October, while Jordan Klepper & Desi Lydic co-hosted once in November), but this will be the first week-long co-hosting stint. (Both correspondents hosted solo over different weeks in February.)
Kosta and Lydic memorably appeared together in a piece for the show last November that poked fun at the rising prices (and shrinking content offerings) of streaming services.
The duo’s guests this week are set to include David Alan Grier on Wednesday and Renée Elise Goldsberry on Thursday. Their schedule guest on Tuesday is journalist Jane Marie, promoting her new book “Selling the Dream: The Billion-Dollar Industry Bankrupting Americans.”
Oh joy, just what we need. More mediocre whiteness!
