If Roy Wood Jr. was taking over The Daily Show, here's what he'd think about, he says
“So you know, it’ll be interesting to see, but to have your name in the hat is an honor. So I’m not going to sit here and act like that’s not a cool thing to have someone even consider that I could do it,” he concludes.
“Butis going to do. My job, in the meantime, is to just be a good-ass correspondent.” For the record, Wood does think if the network went “totally rogue” and chose a contender outside the correspondents’ pool, “that’s a huge bet on the Paramount side.” In his opinion, “it has to be a name someone knows, that we’re familiar with, if I’m running the network.”That being said, he’s also planning ahead for what it might look like to continue acting as a correspondent under a new regime. “[If] I’m there and I’m not the host, then what does the role of correspondent evolve into, or change into, based on the next creative iteration per the creative direction that the host sets forward?” He ponders. “So I’m thinking more about that, if I’m being honest with you, bro. I’m thinking a lot more about, OK, what does my job change into?”
