RD Recap: Layoffs at IBT Media; Jessica Williams Leaves The Daily Show

Jessica Williams says goodbye to The Daily Show in order to head up her own program at Comedy Central. The 26-year-old correspondent, who many had wanted to take over for Jon Stewart, signed a development deal with the network in March, so the move couldn’t have been a complete shock. Right now, she’s set on creating the pilot for the half-hour scripted show that she’ll write, produce and star in. “It’s a show about someone in their 20s who has all these social ideas but still, like, does not have it together,” Williams tells EW.
