In a late-breaking change, Michael Kosta will step in for Ronny Chieng as host of The Daily Show tonight.
Kosta will host Tuesday night’s episode with guests Death Cab for Cutie, whose appearance is set to include an in-studio performance.
As of yesterday, Chieng had been scheduled to take over the desk Tuesday following Jon Stewart’s Monday-night show. He remains scheduled to host Wednesday and Thursday.
Comedy Central did not immediately explain the reason for the last-minute switch.
Chieng’s remaining guests this week are Taika Waititi on Wednesday and Jimmy O. Yang on Thursday.
Though he’s one of the show’s five rotating Tuesday-through-Thursday hosts, Kosta has been especially busy at the anchor desk of late, hosting at least one night in four of The Daily Show’s last six weeks.
The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central and streams on Paramount+.
please find a hobby
With a broken jagged beer bottle up your fat ass, bitch!
IDK why Ronny was unable to host, but no matter the reason, he DEFINITELY dodged a bullet tonight because WTF was that headline coverage on the Amy Acton Ad? Was there no time to expand upon WHY it caused a raucous? All w/o context?
Pod Save America and Bulwark covered the entire situation and yet Daily Show couldn’t find broader jokes w/in this headline?
I’m glad The Daily Show was renewed but man… they need to re-evaluate how they went through the ad and let Acton plead her case on this as a future guest on the show~
And before anyone pulls the FCC Egghead Carr candidate airtime rule…. He has no authority over cable networks, so I’m all in for an Acton appearance~
Why did Michael Kosta on Tuesday’s show air the clip of Amy Anton’s mother without providing any context…this was arguably the most disgusting political ad of the 2026 campaign; he basically promoted the Rights’ propaganda…maybe he should interview for Fox News/Newsmax/etc…
Kosta is a dumbass fuckwiththat has no business being on that show!
Something is wrong with Ronnie Changs right hand! Does anyone know what?
I know, right? It’s never been the same since he fisted your mom’s ass.
The Daily Show podcast’s “precap” episode mentioned something about him breaking his hand or arm last week. Maybe on stage with Hassan? I only had it on in the background and wasn’t paying full attention.
