Minutes into his first episode as guest host on The Daily Show Monday, correspondent Michael Kosta faced a particularly tough challenge: making comedy out of the biggest news of this past week, Hamas' brutal attack in Israel and war in Gaza. On Monday, The Daily Show became the last major late-night TV show to return with new episodes after the writers strike, ending a five-month hiatus ("I love my family, but not for five months," Kosta joked at the start.) That was a telling joke, because despite how diverse the show's lineup of guest hosts and correspondents have been in the past, Monday's show didn't have a single guest, host or correspondent who wasn't white.
