‘Star Wars’ George Lucas Wants Stephen Colbert To Replace Jon Stewart As ‘Daily Show’ Host, Not Trevor Noah? [UPDATE]

Stephen Colbert is set to replace, late night legend, David Letterman as the new host of the Late Show, later this year, but Star Wars creator, George Lucas, apparently had a different job in mind for Colbert. Lucas recently asked Colbert why he wasn’t replacing Jon Stewart instead as host of The Daily Show. This comes shortly after the praise/backlash that Comedy Central received after naming, young comedian, Trevor Noah as Jon Stewart’s successor.

What do you think? Would you have wanted to see Stephen Colbert take over the Daily Show instead of The Late Show with David Letterman? What do you think of Trevor Noah being named Jon Stewarts replacement? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom of the page.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is set to premiere on September 8, 2015.
