If any of you care about this even half as much as what I do, this’ll be a day-ruiner. With Jon Stewart‘s recent announcement – and poignant on-air segment – that at some point this year he’ll be handing over the reigns of The Daily Show, speculation has run rampant over the potential list of suitors to fill the soon-to-be-vacated chair.
Fact 1: I’m not hosting. Thank you but I am extremely under-qualified for the job!

At this age (25) if something happens politically that I don’t agree with, I need to go to my room & like not come out for, like, 7 days.

That second one alone ramps my upset-ness that she won’t be hosting up by about 1000%.
That being said I am super not right for it, but there are quite a few people who are! Can’t wait to stick around & see what happens.

Fact 2: These are not dreads. They’re marley twists. The fuck?!

thanks to everyone tweetin at me like ??. Haha but I’m not like, dead.This is the beginning of my career. I’m gonna troll that ass for yrs.

So whilst this is monumentally upsetting, her youth and burgeoning career arguably make a tied down, extremely demanding role like the anchor chair of The Daily Show probably not an ideal career move. At least not at this stage.
