A lot of the industry is using this as a perfect example of being done dirty by folk you trusted in business.

He was never gonna get it because they didn't value him
Not about trust
They never told him he was going to be the guy
They rotated hosts and shit
If it was him he would've slid into the seat with the announcement immediately
Not have a "search"
If you're hiring in house you don't put up a job posting
Well thats not true. Union rules you HAVE TO POST IT INTERNALLY FIRST.
That don't mean we don't already know who giving it to though.
I was kidding earlier but I get it.
I think post #metoo George Floyd etc they were trying to make a big show and ratings grab.
I don't like it and didn't like it at the time.
But I got it.
You gotta at least CHECK to see the existing talent.
But that was Roy job.
We ALL (thought) it was a given.
But longer it took the worse I began to feel
Roy Wood Jr. Exits ‘Daily Show’ as Search for Host Continues
Roy Wood Jr. will exit The Daily Show as it continues to search for a host to replace Trevor Noah

Damn you again
It was announced in March and he didn't start till November.
Let me see if I can find the exact process.
Damn you double
In 2014 Noah began appearing as a correspondent on Comedy Central's satirical television news program The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
The next year, after Stewart announced that he was stepping down as host, Noah was announced as his replacement.
Who is Trevor Noah and why has he been chosen to anchor 'The Daily Show' team?
NEW YORK - Trevor Noah, a 31-year-old comedian from South Africa who has contributed to "The Daily Show" a handful of times in recent months, will become Jon Stewart's replacement as host, Comedy Cen…

Noah was chosen a little more than a month after Stewart unexpectedly announced he was leaving "The Daily Show" following 16 years as the show's principal voice.
They better make sure to just pick a black woman or someone close.
Cause if not?
Woo boy
No rotating hosts
No plan to do a full search to see who
None of that
In life in work in everything if they want you they'll let you know
If they don't process that internally and move on
They're lucky the show still exists
Landscape has changed completely. So Idc who they pick because the best is behind them it's good Roy wasn't named Captain of a sinking ship
Again to be fair...
You don't think metoo pandemic etc etc played a part in the opening casting call?
They did that on Jeopardy and the produce decided to hire HIMSELF!
I don't
They don't care about that stuff
But I think Roy could have SAVED the ship.
I think that show that format in an election year? Could be great again.
He killed at the correspondent dinner. He got the experience. He is smart and funny.
Charlemagne sh*t was weak TWICE.
But Roy ain't that he is much more likeable and believable
I think they wanted to give the appearance they care
Hold on
Bro a nightly political real time comedy show won't work on 2023 2024?
But they obviously don't think so
That's all most people do lol
I really hope and pray he proves them wrong
I'm black
