I just remember what I read a few months ago when the news came out. I remember Ari apologizing for not being able to make the tapings and said the tapings were too close to cancel or reschedule and said his team hired Roy Wood Jr. to take over.
I still need to watch Roy Wood Jr.'s special that came out a few months ago. Dude is pretty funny, one of the few watchable parts of The Daily Show now days.
I watched one of his old comedy specials on Netflix a couple years ago. Not a laugh to be had. Driest comedy special ever. I won't even give his newest one a chance.
The dude that comes on after the Daily Show now Jordan Klepper is even worse. Dude is trying way too hard to replicate The Colbert Report. Except this time instead of pretending to be Bill O'Reilly like Colbert did he's trying to be Alex Jones-ish. Shit is stupid.
