Comedy Central’s long-running satirical news show is neither a straight news program nor a traditional late-night show, but it has one thing in common with both — the guys heading it up tend to be older white males. Here are some suggestions that don’t fit that mold: ### Jessica Williams  PARK CITY, UT - JANUARY 26: Actress Jessica Williams of "People, Places, Things" poses for a portrait at the Village at the Lift Presented by McDonald's McCafe during the 2015 Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2015 in Park City, Utah. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images) Larry Busacca—Getty Images When the current _Daily Show_ correspondent outlined her vision for a modern celebrity gossip site in the January 2015 issue of _Wired_ (which featured her on the cover), she could have been describing her vision for a satirical news show with a strong pop-culture perspective. “There’s something missing in all this new new media craziness, and that is something that uses celebrity news as a way to get into a really serious analysis of our culture,” [she wrote.](http://www.wired.com/2014/12/jessica-williams/) “Do Kim and Kanye affect how society feels about interracial relationships and blended families? What does our obsession with Jennifer Lawrence say about third-wave feminism? … When they think they’re getting dirt, we give them vegetables.” ### W. Kamau Bell  NEW ORLEANS, LA - JANUARY 06: W. Kamau Bell performs during the Oh Everything!!! Stand Up Comedy Tour at Tipitina's on January 6, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Erika Goldring/Getty Images) Erika Goldring—Getty Images His FXX show, _Totally Biased With_ _W. Kamau Bell_, leaned heavily on social commentary and drew plenty of _The Daily Show_ comparisons during its two seasons. Bell has also been critical of the lack of diversity in the exact realm of television where Stephen Colbert is headed: “Us non-white-dudeish artists have to stop longing to be put in the box of mainstream late-night talk show hosts,” [he wrote last fall](http://www.buzzfeed.com/wkamaubell/the-unbearable-whiteness-of-late-night). “Late-night TV is big business and wants the biggest audience possible. And the people who run it believe they have evidence the biggest audience comes with a white guy. And it will probably remain that way … at least until 2042.” Perhaps he’d like to take a hand in making progress move a little quicker. ### Samantha Bee  BROOKLYN, NY - NOVEMBER 10: Samantha Bee attends "Made In NY" Awards Ceremony at Weylin B. Seymour's on November 10, 2014 in Brooklyn, New York. (Photo by John Lamparski/WireImage) John Lamparsk—WireImage/Getty Images When it comes to _The Daily Show_ experience, few candidates compare to Bee, who in 2012 surpassed Colbert as the longest-serving correspondent. Her name appeared on many writers’ suggested shortlists as a Colbert replacement following his big news, and fans are already doing the same in the hours since Stewart’s announcement. Just watch Bee ([who’s married to fellow correspondent Jason Jones](http://jezebel.com/the-daily-shows-samantha-bee-i-should-be-in-that-chair-1643770159)) tackle one of today’s hottest topics — vaccines — [several months ago](http://www.mediaite.com/tv/the-daily-show-tears-into-liberal-idiocy-on-vaccines/). ### Aisha Tyler  NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 10: Actress Aisha Tyler attends WIRED Store 10th Anniversary Party in New York City, Presented by BMW i. and Oakley in New York City on December 10, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images for WIRED) Stephen Lovekin—Getty Images Before becoming a co-host of CBS’ _The Talk_ in 2011, the voice of Lana from _Archer_ made a name for herself as an actress, comedian and writer. ABC once tapped her to host _The Aisha Tyler Show_, which was going to mix elements of daytime talk shows with late-night’s comedy and political commentary, but the show never materialized. She started the Girl on Guy podcast years before you knew what Serial was, and she can speak to some particularly newsworthy cultural interests: Tyler is an avid video game fan, so just imagine the segments on Gamergate segments she’d come up with. ### Kristen Schaal  NEW YORK, NY - OCTOBER 09: Kristen Schall attends a Special Advanced Screening Of Key & Peele on October 9, 2014 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Entertainment Weekly) Jamie McCarthy—Getty Images _The Daily Show_’s senior women’s correspondent has her fair share of projects — most notably, she’s starring in the Will Forte’s upcoming Fox sitcom _The Last Man on Earth_ — but Comedy Central has shown itself to be a welcome home for female-fronted shows. [As TIME’s Eliana Dockterman points out](http://time.com/3704294/jon-stewart-the-daily-show-retiring-new-host-woman/), _Inside Amy Schumer_ became the network’s most-watched series premiere — with an even male-female audience split — when it debuted in 2013, while _Broad City_ gave _Louie_ a run for its money when it averaged 1.3 million viewers per episode in its first season. ### Michael Che  LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS -- Episode 104 -- Pictured: Comedian Michael Che during an interview on September 29, 2014 -- (Photo by: Lloyd Bishop/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images) NBC/Getty Images The comedian and writer already knows how to tackle current events as a co-host of _Saturday Night Live_’s Weekend Update (the segment’s first ever black co-host). He’s tested his stand-up chops on _The Late Show With David Letterman_ and _John Oliver’s New York Stand-Up Show_, and his old web series “The Realest Candidate” showed he can handle an election cycle. Oh, yeah — he, too, is a former _Daily Show_ correspondent. ### Hannibal Buress  PASADENA, CA - JULY 25: Comedian Hannibal Buress performs during his appearance at The Ice House Comedy Club on July 25, 2014 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by Michael Schwartz/WireImage) Michael Schwartz—WireImage/Getty Images Already in the Comedy Central family thanks to his recurring role as the loveable Lincoln on _Broad City_, Burress’s stand-up comedy has demonstrated its power to make headlines, not just play with them. His bit about Bill Cosby during a set in Philadelphia last year was a major force in reigniting the conversation about sexual assault allegations against Cosby. Outside of going viral, Buress’ resume also includes very brief stints as a writer for _Saturday Night Live_ and _30 Rock_.
