“Comedy Central is mulling a “short list” of replacements for “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart, a decision that could affect how much influence the show has on the 2016 presidential campaign.
Also at issue: Whether Stewart, an executive producer for “Daily Show” as well as host, retains some role with the show that has helped shape attitudes toward politics and media and given campaigns an appealing forum to reach potential voters, especially younger ones.
“TBD,” said Doug Herzog, president of Viacom Entertainment Group, using the shorthand for “to be determined,” when asked if Stewart would keep a hand in.”
On a special TYT show from YouTube Space LA, Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur), John Iadarola (http://www.twitter.com/jiadarola), and Ben Mankiewicz (http://www.twitter.com/benmank77) of The Young Turks discuss.
