Following Trevor Noah's departure from position in December 2022 after seven years, stand-up comedian Leslie Jones was first star to guest-host Comedy Central series.

Her three-episode run in January was followed by Chelsea Handler, Wanda Sykes, D. L. Hughley, Sarah Silverman, Kal Penn and Hasan Minhaj. 55-year-old revealed to PEOPLE that she would love to host show. "It was one of those in-the-pocket fits. You know how when you get fitted for suit and you're like, 'Yeah, this suit looks nice on me. Yo, I don't mind wearing this style on me.'  Daily Show was [that]," she says. "I would say my writer, Lenny Marcus, said to me we have been trying to find place that actually is going to be fun and efficient place to work at. Everybody calls themselves world-renowned and they've done this and done that. But we haven't ever had totally good experiences on productions lot of times," she continues.
