'The Daily Show' Introduces Newest Correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt

Posted by on


For the second straight week, but this time slightly sooner, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show revealed a new correspondent hire: Grace Kuhlenschmidt.

Kuhlenschmidt’s debut segment came during last Wednesday, October 25’s episode, guest hosted by Desus Nice. Opposite Michael Kosta, they each gave their own takes on the question of whether one should take $500,000 or lunch with Jay-Z. This was after Jay himself chimed in to say that one should take the money. She said that one should “definitely have lunch with Jay-Z” as he “probably” has Beyonce’s phone number.

A stand-up comedian, actress and writer, Kuhlenschmidt recurred in the final season of HBO Max’s Search Party and appeared in the first seasons of Peacock’s Killing It and Showtime’s Ziwe. She was recognized as a New Faces: Creators by Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival and wrote for Audible podcast Hot White Heist. 

Her Daily Show debut came three episodes after that of another correspondent, Troy Iwata, whose debut segment was about book banning. On very little experience, they have a possible chance at the anchor desk. On the week of November 20, in just about three weeks, it’s the News Team Takeover so a guest host from outside the show don’t have to be flown in the week of Thanksgiving. And since they’re now part of the news team, they get to be part of it. The addition of Kuhlenschmidt marks a gross gain of +1, as Roy Wood Jr. left the show after as nearly 8 years as one can before the end of a five month hiatus so that the writers could strike for the fair contract they sought striking against the AMPTP. Charlamagne tha God is halfway through hosting his week, and Sarah Silverman and Leslie Jones guest host in the weeks leading up to the takeover and Michelle Wolf the week after. The new host is expected to take over in 2024.
