New Daily Show Correspondent Has An Excellent Backhand
The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has just signed on a new correspondent who knows what is out-of-bounds. Stand-up comedian and former pro tennis player Michael Kosta will be joining the Comedy Central series tonight as part of their "Best F#@ing News Team". His debut will be an in-studio desk segement. Kosta is most likely a replacement for Jordan Klepper who will be taking over the 11:30 time slot this fall.
Kosta has been working as host and co-executive producer on The Comment Section on E! as well as co-host on Fox Sport 1's Crowd Goes Wild where he worked with Regis Philbin. With Comedy Central, Kosta has done a half-hour comedy special in 2011, a Snapchat series called Worst Birthday (based on his podcast) and has appeared on @Midnight with Chris Hardwick.
The former athlete turned comedian made his name in entertainment at the HBO Comedy and Arts Festival then started doing the late night circuit appearing on the Tonight Show, Conan, Chelsea Lately and Late Night.
