African American guests
Tonight is the first show in over 2 weeks with a Caucasian guest. Guess TDS is taking up the void left when Larry Wilmore left the air? I usually FF through the guest segment anyways?
share"first show in over 2 weeks with a Caucasian guest."
I looked back at the last 10 shows. Tomi, Chelsea Handler, Evan McMullin and tonight's alum Rob Corddry. That's not none, it's not even a bad percentage. Each guest that was on was promoting a timely work (show, article, album...) except Tomi, McMullin, and Pres. Obama.
I think if Larry Wilmore were still around he would have had Shaun King on to promote the start of his injustice boycott. Other than DJ Khaled and possibly John Legend I wouldn't imagine the others guesting on the Nightly Show. It really didn't give guests the best opportunity to promote current projects.
Which guests would you have traded out and for whom? It is a good time of year for movie promotions.
The week is only 4 shows, stand by original statement, Chelsea was over 2 weeks ago.
shareReread your original statement you said in "over 2 weeks" so I went 2 1/2 weeks. I don't know a lot about Evan McMullin is he not Caucasian?
Still an abundance of African American guests. African Americans make up at most 13% of the US population, they make up over 50% of Daily Show guests.
shareYou must be a big fan of the trump admin's alt-facts! Why don't you just stop watching and stick to Fox?

You got lucky, still more than 13%. Let's see what the next two weeks bring? BTW, not American so I really don't give a rat's behind about Trump or whoever is running the asylum this week. Wouldn't be a fan of his if I was American. See ya in 2 weeks?
shareSorry, I'm done playing with racists. I won't be seeing your posts any longer.
shareYou'll be back
That doesn't make him/her a racist. I noticed it, too. Compared to Jon as a host, I think there are a lot more black guests now. I don't have any numbers, I'm going off of memory and I may be wrong.
share2 white, 2 black this week. I am not a racist like he claims. Just noticed there is a ton of black guests now that the host is black. Maybe Wilmore losing his show is adding to the increased black guests.
shareToo bad you won't see this but first week 2 black 2 white, second week Monday.....tada black again.
shareRhythm:
13% of the population is 40 million people. That's no small potatoes at all, either. And why are you complaining about black guests on the show, when white guests are the majority most of the time? I swear some people are never satisfied.
