An expected permanent host will be announced in 2024. Resolves when the host name is announced. In the event it is a duo or trio hosting gig (lame) then the answer must list all names to be the winner.

Roy Wood Jr. is out. Does that mean that other regulars are also being passed over? Will the show even exist in this fractured cable market? They might need a big name established name to make up for the disaster that was picking unknown Trevor Noah. Add your own and get a Mana bonus if someone bets on your answer.

With Jon Stewart continuing his guest spot through 2025, my gut says to N/A this and free up people's mana.

Does not seem like Jon Stewart is what you would call a permanent host. Looks like they have punted. I'm content to resolve this N/A if people want to pull their money, or let it stay open while this show does its full death rattle. Thoughts?

@KevinBlaw I have no strong feeling either way but I think that since he's been confirmed to host once per week at least through the election, for now there's no way of knowing whether may stay on full time afterward if they haven't locked in a permanent host (long shot, but anything is possible?)

@KevinBlaw I think it should stay open. I agree that JS is not a permanent host and I can still see myself enjoying betting on the who will eventually take over as permanent after Stewart if I can ever remember the show exists to pay attention to it again.

I think they might go back to guest hosts for the other nights? If so:

@Joshua spotted this too:

I'm guessing "none" was high because CC vaugely said there would be news recently, and people assumed that might be news of cancellation? Seems obvious the show is sticking around if they have Stewart signed on as a temporary host, so I think that means we should still expect a permanent host.

Jon Stewart

@mattyb Yeah I don't think it counts but always possible!

Oops! Didn't mean to close this one, thought it was one of the glitched markets but it's not. Not sure what you had as the original resolution date >.>

@Joshua Should get one by end of 2024. I was trying to set it up so unique answers got a mana bonus. Not sure I did it right.
