Atlanta native Dulcé Sloan has wrapped a seven-year run as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s satirical news program “The Daily Show.”
“Dulcé Sloan is an exceptional comedic force and we are thankful for her hilarious seven year run on ‘The Daily Show,’ ” a spokesperson for “The Daily Show” said in a statement. “We wish her the best and look forward to watching her next chapter.”
“There is work that I’ve done over the past seven years with ‘The Daily Show’ that I couldn’t be prouder of,” said Sloan in a statement to Deadline. “I collaborated with some incredibly talented people who I look forward to continuing to work with. I know our paths will continue to cross.
Sloan, a Meadowcreek High School graduate, acted for many years and became a fixture in the Atlanta stand-up comedy scene but moved to New York where she landed the “Daily Show” gig.
According to Deadline.com, Sloan relocated from New York, where “The Daily Show” is produced, to Los Angeles to focus more on her acting and stand-up career. Her final appearance on the show came in December.
She was not included in the most recent rotation of hosts who funnel in when Jon Stewart isn’t hosting. Those rotational hosts are Desi Lydic, Ronny Chieng, Michael Kosta and Jordan Klepper. Last year, the network added Troy Iwata, Josh Johnson and Grace Kuhlenschmidt to the correspondents’ list.
Sloan is working on a new comedy special and launching a new tour. She also voices Honeybee Shaw on Fox’s animated series “The Great North,” which just premiered its fifth season.
