Daily Show Correspondent Desi Lydic Signs With Artists First

Desi Lydic, who has gained notice during her recent tenure as one of the correspondents at Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” has signed with Artists First, the talent-management firm known for its stable of comic actors.

Lydic joined “The Daily Show” as a correspondent in September 2015, just as Trevor Noah started his tenure as host. Since his exit late last year, she has served as a solo guest host and last month co-hosted alongside Jordan Klepper. Her work as a correspondent won her the 2020 Webby Award for “Best Web Personality/Host/”

Her work on the show has led to other opportunities. She starred in the viral series, “Desi Lydic: Foxsplains,” which earned her a 2022 Emmy Award nomination for “Outstanding Actress In A Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series.” In May 2019, she debuted her first one-hour special, “Desi Lydic: Abroad” where she set out on a global expedition to explore how and why the U.S. has fallen so far behind much of the world when it comes to women and education, economics, health, and politics. In 2020, she explored the remarkable life and legacy of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah Presents: Remembering RBG – A Nation Ugly Cries with Desi Lydic.”
