Al Franken

I know there are a lor of people her who miss him. So when I found his email in my inbox that he is hosting The Daily Show this week, I thought I would post.

Dear Person Who Still Opens My Emails,

I wanted to call your attention to something I’ll be doing this coming week: hosting The Daily Show. Since Trevor Noah left the show after seven excellent years, they’ve been having guest hosts filling in. Hosts like Leslie Jones, Wanda Sykes, D.L. Hughley, Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, Hasan Minhaj, Marlon Wayans, and Kal Penn.

Now, it’s me! The first white male host! Exciting! Huh!?

don’t consider even Jewish people white. They’re not part of the “club”.

15. He'd be great

although I'd still like to see him get back the Senate seat he was screwed out of.

I've been pretty happy with all of the Daily Show guest hosts. They've all been great

16. soldierant ...............

Thanks for the reminder.

I've DVR'd all of the episodes since Trevor left so it's automatically going to record. However, I'd forgotten this was his week....I LOVE the man!
