Johnson joined The Daily Show as a writer in 2017 and became a correspondent in February 2024. Prior to his role on The ‘Daily Show,’ Johnson made his late-night debut as a writer and performer on NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.’ In 2015, Comedy Central named him one of the comics to watch. The stand-up comedian also released two specials on Comedy Central and Peacock.

The comedian shared the news about his hosting gig on Facebook, saying, “I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself. This doesn’t happen without you, the friends who’ve shown up, shared the work, and kept building this with me.”

You can see Johnson anchor the show starting on Tuesday, July 22, at 11 p.m. ET. His guests for the week he’s anchoring include ‘Great Black Hope’ author Rob Franklin, singer Samara Cyn, and Happy Gilmore 2 actor Christopher McDonald.
