No. I'll surely be a comic. I'm betting one of these:
1. Tina Fey
2. Amy Poehler
3. John Oliver
4. Louis C.K.
The Daily Show is a really sweet gig. Jon Stewart makes between $25-30 million a year (that's about 3 times what Brian Williams makes. Whoever comes in isn't going to take over Stewart's salary, but they're going to get a great deal. So they have the money to get whoever they want. My money is on Tina Fey.
It has to go to someone who is willing to sit there four nights a week for several years. My guess is that is not Tina Fey.

+1.
I actually think Brian Williams is a pretty hilarious thought. He has decent comic timing and his current employer would sure like him to just kind of go away.
Well, like NBC the Daily Show is built on lies and phony news, too.
NBC Universal (parent company of NBC) owns Comedy Central. I think it is clear he wont do World News anymore. Transitioning him to The Daily Show would allow them to keep the talent of a guy they like and make the Daily show pull in a new audience.
However, I think they will end up distancing themselves from him and thus he wont be on the Daily Show.
You want the Daily Show to lose credibility?

I would bet one of my testes that it won't be Fey or C.K.
