Not only will there be a new face behind the Daily Show desk when the show returns on Sept. 28, but there will also be three new members of the Best F*&#ing News Team Ever.
Comedy Central announced today that Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic and Roy Wood Jr. will join The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Jordan Klepper, Hasan Minhaj and Jessica Williams are sticking around, while Lewis Black, John Hodgman, Al Madrigal and Kristen Schaal will continue making appearances.
“I’m so excited to welcome these new members of the Daily Show Team. Now I get to share my stress with other new people,” Noah said in a statement.
Chieng is a standup comedian born in Malaysia and raised in Manchester, New Hampshire and Singapore. But he got his start in standup in Australia and was named one of The Age’s Top 10 Rising Comedians in Australia and other media outlets. He made his American TV debut on The Late Late Show.
Lydic was a member of The Groundlings and Improv Olympic. She has been featured on Awkward., The Odd Couple, The League and Two and A Half Men.
Wood is definitely the most familiar face of the trio, having appeared on TBS’ Sullivan and Son and Conan. He was also a finalist on Last comic Standing in 2010 and is a regular guest on Comedy Central’s @midnight.
