Jessica Williams denies reports she will be next 'Daily Show' host

NEW YORK, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- There has been much speculation about who will host Comedy Central's The Daily Show since longtime host Jon Stewart announced his departure.

Show correspondent Jessica Williams said she will not be the new host of the late night satirical platform.

Williams denied rumors she would be replacing Stewart via Twitter, saying she is too young and under-qualified for the top show job.

Fact 1: I'm not hosting. Thank you but I am extremely under-qualified for the job!

At this age (25) if something happens politically that I don't agree with, I need to go to my room & like not come out for, like, 7 days.

She may not be hosting, but Williams made sure her fans realized she isn't going anywhere.

That being said I am super not right for it, but there are quite a few people who are! Can't wait to stick around & see what happens.
