Trevor Noah is officially the next host of The Daily Show , but apparently there were some big names Comedy Central tried to pursue first. Bill Simmons tweeted out three names he was told they reached out to: Heard Comedy Central pursued 3 big-ass names for Daily Show: Poehler, Louis CK, Schumer. Went 0 for 3. Young/cheap/upside was smart audible. — Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) March 30, 2015 Amy Poehler , of course, did the “fake news” beat for a while, when she and Tina Fey (later Seth Meyers ) co-hosted SNL ‘s Weekend Update. Amy Schumer has the most history with Comedy Central; she currently has her own show, Inside Amy Schumer , on the network And Louis C.K. is, well, Louis C.K. Simmons made this observation about the choices: PS: I don't think Poehler or CK was realistic, but had CC caught Schumer a year earlier – very realistic. Now she knows she can make movies. — Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) March 30, 2015 [h/t UPROXX ] [ image via screengrab ] – – Follow Josh Feldman on Twitter: @feldmaniac
