NEW YORK — Comic Larry Wilmore of the “Daily Show” has earned Stephen Colbert’s coveted Comedy Central timeslot following Jon Stewart each night.
Comedy Central said Friday that Wilmore will host “The Minority Report” at 11:30 each week night. An African-American, Wilmore will add a different perspective to a late-night landscape dominated by white males.
