Comedy Central has Announced Stephen Colbert’s Replacement

Date:

Comedy Central has finally found a replacement for Stephen Colbert.

After Stephen Colbert announced that he will be filling David Letterman’s spot, there were terror tantrums, complaints, and mass hysteria over who would fill Colbert’s spot.

According to reports, Comedy Central searched through the series of correspondents on The Daily Show to find a host for the post-Daily show 11:30 PM news slot.

The network would choose The Daily Show’s Senior Black corespondent, Larry Willmore, to host a new nightly program called The Minority Report. 

The new series is set to launch in January 2015, following the end of The Colbert Report. 

Willmore is also attached to the ABC comedy series, “Black-ish” as the series show runner.

The Minority Report was created by Jon Stewart and will be produced by Stewart’s Busboy Productions with Stewart and Wilmore serving as executive producers on the show. The new series will center on a comedic take on the day’s news. It will feature a panel of voices, and comedians.
