Josh Johnson Discusses ‘Daily Show’ Hosting with Stephen Colbert

Josh Johnson had his first Late Show interview with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday in a delightful discussion between late-night hosts. The Daily Show host spoke about the pressure of joining the lineup alongside Jon Stewart, Ronny Chieng, Desi Lydic, Jordan Klepper, and Michael Kosta. “When it comes to hosting, it’s fun and everyone is supportive, but it’s intimidating,” Johnson said. He likened hosting The Daily Show to borrowing a friend’s car, wanting to return it unscathed. The interview also covered Johnson’s new HBO comedy special Symphony, and he shared a story about brass knuckles, TSA, and toe separators.
