Sorry Everyone, Jessica Williams Is Not Taking Over for Jon Stewart on ‘The Daily Show’

With Jon Stewart announcing his soon-coming retirement from The Daily Show after 16 years hosting the satirical news show, there’s been a lot of speculation as to who would be taking over. There’s now one favorite name that we can go ahead and cross off the list. Correspondent Jessica Williams shot down the rumors this weekend, tweeting (Warning, her Twitter feed contains some strong language), “I’m not hosting. Thank you but I am extremely under-qualified for the job! … At this age (25) if something happens politically that I don’t agree with, I need to go to my room & like not come out for, like, 7 days … That being said I am super not right for it, but there are quite a few people who are! Can’t wait to stick around & see what happens.” Hot Tub Time Machine 2 has lied to us
