“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart†is losing one of its correspondents, Wyatt Cenac. Comedy Central said that Mr. Cenac had decided to leave at the end of the year, which for the show comes on Dec. 13, when it tapes a final edition before a holiday break. “Jon and the staff wish him the best in his future endeavors,†a channel spokesman said.
Mr. Cenac, a writer and stand-up comic, joined “The Daily Show†in 2008, following in the punch-lines of past correspondents like Steve Carell, Ed Helms and Rob Corddry. His departure was first reported by Vulture, the entertainment news Web site.
The show doesn't plan to hire a new correspondent right away, nor does it need to, since it doesn't have a set number of players. Besides Mr. Cenac, there are six currently: Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi, Al Madrigal and Jessica Williams. Ms. Williams, the newest correspondent, joined the cast in January.
