List of the 8 Candidates which I believe make up the "New Daily Show Host" Short-List

Let me go on record saying it: Here is my prediction of some of the people I would have on my shortlist, if I wanted to replace Stewarts left of center politics, snark, wit, and sarcastic sense of humor;

~~~Adding an update! Making this list 8 and adding #8.  (Sunday Feb 15th, 8:21 AM)

1) Tina Fey (Experience as a Talking Head, Brilliant, Funny)

2) Russell Brand (Experience with talk show, has that ability to draw attention to absurdity)

3) Sarah Silverman (Brilliant Wit, Satireical genius, super quick on her proverbial feet) ← My personal favorite pick

4) Seth McFarlane (Hard to argue that the guy behind Family Guy, with his amazing stage presence, good looks, recent hosting of the Oscars or whatever he hosted last year, and his knack for irony and finding absurdity in modern politics and pop culture would not at earn him a consideration)  ← My dark horse pick

5) Demetri Martin (He dropped out of Harvard Law School to become a standup comic)

6) Joe Rogan (Way smarter then he comes off at first)

7) Rachel Maddow (The safe, obvious, easy pic, but not funny enough, IMO.)

8) Cenk Uygur - (CurrentTV host and show creator of "The Young Turks....With Cenk Uygur" Cannot be ignored as his role is very similar, he has the looks, the politics, the talent..... etc)

There is your short list, right there..... You heard it here first-- 2/12/2015 @ 3:20 A.M.
