Comic Roy Wood Jr. says he will not return to his position as a correspondent on Comedy Central's The Daily Show when the show resumes new episodes later this month, ending a job he first started eight years ago. "How Roy Wood Jr. crushed the toughest room in comedy," gushed a story in the Washington Post; notables ranging from Stephen Colbert to departed Daily Show host Noah all said Wood should be a strong contender to lead the program permanently. The Daily Show's process of finding a permanent host has likely been extended by the Writers Guild of America strike, which led the show to stop production of new episodes in May just as correspondent Dulce Sloan began her stint as a guest host.
