I heard someone float the idea of asking Tina Fey to take over, which would be spectacular. My first thought though was to wonder if any of the former correspondants(like Helms or Cordry) would be willing to come back.
Regardless of who they get, I think Jon will hand pick his successor. He knows how important the show is, and I don't think he'd leave Larry high and dry right after the latter just started his new show. Especially not since Stewart's production company makes it.
Tina Fey has so many things going for her right now -- she has like three TV shows or something crazy like that. I would definitely love her in the role but I don't know if it's feasible... I did hear someone suggest Amy Poehler and since Parks & Rec is ending maybe that could happen?
I wouldn't mind if some of the alumni cast came back, there was a lot of great talent that outgrew correspondent roles. I definitely think that Jon is going to make sure the show continues on a good path, I heard that he might still be staying on as the immediate producer.
But when I try to imagine anyone doing as great a job as Jon, I just... can't. I've been watching Stewart and Colbert for so long!
