After getting Jon Stewart as its new host, The Daily Show is staffing up.
The series on Comedy Central has signed up three new correspondents to its news team: Troy Iwata, Josh Johnson, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt.
They have become the first new correspondents to join the show in six years, since the arrival of Jaboukie Young- White, who came onboard in 2018 and left the show in 2021. The last new correspondent still on the show was September 2017, Jordan Klepper, who returned in December 2019 after having featured on the show previously.
Troy and Grace joined the show in October 2023, while Josh, who has earlier worked as writer on the show, made his on screen debut in February. The move to official correspondents just happened, despite being on the show for a few months.
The new correspondents have joined Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic, Michael Kosta, Lewis Black, Jordan, and Sloan. However, it must be noted that the new correspondents will not be sharing any hosting duties on Tuesdays through Thursdays.
Troy made his debut the same night as the show debuted a pair of co- hosts in Michael Kosta and Ronny Chieng. He kicked off with a segment about book banning.
