What “Nightly News” and “The Daily Show” should do next. Hint: it involves women: “There are so many reasons why the next host of ‘The Daily Show’ and ‘Nightly News’ should be a woman.

We already know the names of the women who can do these jobs. It’s time to let them, if for no other reason than it’s been too long already.”
