Michael Che is the New 'Daily Show' Correspondent

“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” has tapped comedian and writer Michael Che to become its newest correspondent, joining the roster of “The Best F*&#ing News Team Ever!” from the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning show in June.

Currently a writer on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” Michael Che (@CheThinks) has enjoyed a meteoric rise as a stand-up comedian. In 2013, Che was named by Rolling Stone as one of “The 50 Funniest People” and as one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch.” The year prior, he was crowned the winner of New York’s Funniest Stand-Up competition at the New York Comedy Festival. The New York Times describes him as possessing “a reflective, laid-back stage presence with jokes that draw as much from his city upbringing…as from blunt, insightful points that bring the abstract into focus.”
