"The Daily Show" has been in a state of flux since Trevor Noah stepped down more than a year ago ... but it sounds like the uncertainty might be comin' to an end.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Comedy Central told TheWrap the network was getting ready to reveal the show's "next chapter" ... and then promptly left fans on the edge of their seats -- saying the announcement's coming NEXT week.

This comes on the heels of an Emmy win for 'TDS' ... taking home Outstanding Talk Series at the awards show on Monday -- though even during the win the show's unresolved host issue took center stage.

Roy Wood Jr., a longtime correspondent of the show, expressed his displeasure with recent choices ... mouthing "Please hire a host" multiple times while TN lifted the award in triumph -- pretty funny parallel when you see the clip.

Noah left the show back in 2022 ... giving fans a tear-jerking goodbye when he signed off. A rotating panel of hosts has taken over in the weeks and months since -- and clearly, it's had its ups and downs.

Wood Jr. left the show back in Oct. after he was seemingly passed up for the full-time hosting gig ... no word on if he'd be open to a reunion with his former employer.

Cordell Patrick, the man ejected from a moving RV, says he's lucky to be alive ... because he thought he was going to die on that busy Los Angeles area freeway.

Cordell joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday from his hospital bed ... and he told us how he ended up being thrown from his RV onto the freeway.

It's pretty incredible ... Cordell says he was getting up to use the bathroom and took off his seatbelt in the 5-second window where his wife passed out behind the wheel and veered into the median.

Cordell says the impact sent him crashing through the driver-side window ... and his body flying over the median and landing on the other side of the freeway, inches away from the carpool lane.

As he lay on the freeway with his mangled ankle, Cordell says he thought he was going to be run over by a car ... telling us it's a miracle he was able to make it out of harms way.

Cordell says he and his wife had just gotten back from a trip and were heading to their storage unit when she suddenly blacked out and crashed.

She's getting medical attention too, and Cordell says they're still trying to figure out why she passed out.

Cordell Patrick, el hombre que salió expulsado de una caravana en movimiento, dice que tiene suerte de estar vivo porque pensó que iba a morir en la concurrida autopista de Los Ángeles.

Cordell se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el miércoles desde su cama del hospital y nos dijo cómo terminó siendo arrojado desde su vehículo en la autopista.

Es bastante increíble. Cordell dice que se estaba levantando para ir al baño y se quitó el cinturón de seguridad cuando su esposa se desmayó al volante y se desvió hacia un costado.

Cordell dice que el impacto lo llevó a estrellarse a través de la ventana del lado del conductor y su cuerpo salió volando hacia un lado de la autopista, a pocos centímetros de distancia del carril de carro compartido.

Mientras yacía en la autopista con su tobillo destrozado, Cordell dice que pensó que iba a ser atropellado. Nos dice que es un milagro que fuera capaz de salir del peligro.

Cordell dice que él y su esposa acababan de regresar de un viaje y se dirigían a su unidad de almacenamiento cuando de repente se desmayó y se estrelló.

Ella también está recibiendo atención médica y Cordell dice que todavía están tratando de averiguar por qué se desmayó.

Nikki Haley said America has never been a racist country -- but Whoopi Goldberg would beg to differ ... and she's ready to list the ugly receipts that prove the exact opposite.

The talk show host tackled this topic on "The View" Wednesday -- this a day after the Republican presidential candidate went on FOX News to rebuke the notion that America is a racist nation ... but in the same breath, denied the U.S. has ever that problem.

Of course, that's a ridiculous statement ... and just factually wrong. Not only did we have slaves in this country for a good long while -- but America was a segregated nation through much of the 20th century as well. Basic history ... but NH seems to be trying to blur it.

Welp, Whoopi wasn't having any of Haley's obfuscation ... and she unloaded on her in no uncertain terms in an impassioned speech as she was intro'ing this topic at the table.

Check out what she has to say for yourself -- she says all the lynching of Black people over the years wasn't carried out by them ... but by racist Americans, and you can tell she's outraged by Haley's attempt to downplay this country's past.

The reason this latest slip-up from her stands out is the fact that just recently suggested the Civil War was not really about slavery -- something she tried to clarify after the fact ... but raised a lot of eyebrows when she said it.

Things didn't get better when she further tried distancing herself from those remarks at a Republican town hall ... using the old "I have Black friends" line to defend herself.

Nikki Haley dijo que Estados Unidos nunca ha sido un país racista, pero Whoopi Goldberg no está de acuerdo, y está dispuesta a enumerar distintas situaciones recibos que demuestran exactamente lo contrario.

El anfitrión del programa de entrevistas abordó este tema en "The View" el miércoles, un día después de que la candidata presidencial republicana apareciera en FOX News para refutar la idea de que Estados Unidos es una nación racista, pero en el mismo discurso, negó que los EE.UU. tuviera ese problema desde siempre.

Por supuesto, esa es una afirmación ridícula y simplemente incorrecta. No solo tuvimos esclavos en este país durante mucho tiempo, sino que Estados Unidos fue una nación segregada durante gran parte del siglo XX. Historia básica, pero Nikki parece estar tratando de difuminarla.

Whoopi respondio de una manera elocuente y directa —mucho mejor que alguien que se postula a un cargo político— y puso a Hañey en su lugar.

Mira lo que dijo por ti mismo, ella dice que todos los linchamientos de personas de raza negra a lo largo de los años no fueron llevados a cabo por ellos, sino por los estadounidenses racistas, y se puede decir que está indignada por el intento de Haley de restarle importancia al pasado de este país.

La razón de este último desliz se destaca es el hecho de que hace poco sugirió que la Guerra Civil no era realmente acerca de la esclavitud, algo que trató de aclarar después de los hechos, pero levantó un montón de cejas cuando lo hizo.

Las cosas no mejoraron cuando trató de distanciarse de esos comentarios en un ayuntamiento republicano, utilizando la vieja línea "Tengo amigos negros" para defenderse.

A guy got launched out of an RV that was barreling down a freeway in the Los Angeles area -- and he got thrown onto the complete opposite side ... somehow surviving the ordeal.

Wild video surfaced Monday of a horrifying accident that miraculously didn't end up being deadly. It shows a driver cruising in one direction along the 14 Freeway near Santa Clarita ... and his dashcam caught an RV coming toward him from the other side of the barrier.

Watch ... you see the RV is a little out of control, and it actually appears to bang against the cement divider -- which seems to have flung one of its passengers through its doors.

Soon enough, a man's body tumbling appears in clear view ... it looks like he fell out of the RV and onto the shoulder of the opposite end of the road, almost hitting oncoming traffic.

BTW, there are a couple different angles capturing the action here ... and it's totally insane.

As you might imagine, this ended up drawing a massive police response -- with first responders rushing to the scene to attend to this poor guy ... and, miraculously, he lived!

The man was taken to the hospital, and the extent of his injuries isn't entirely clear. Now, as for how exactly this could've happened in the first place -- an eyewitness is quoted as claiming that the driver fell asleep, and that the man who was shot out was her hubby.

Un hombre salió despedido de un vehículo que se precipitaba por una autopista en la zona de Los Ángeles... y sobrevivió milagrosamente a la terrible experiencia.

La dashcam captó el momento en que una camioneta que parecía tambalearse, expulsa a un hombre de manera muy extraña...

Se ve que la camioneta está fuera de control y parece golpear la barrera cemento arrojado a uno de sus pasajeros a través de sus puertas.

Muy pronto, el cuerpo de un hombre dando tumbos aparece a la vista... al parecer se cayó de la camioneta quedando a la merced del tráfico.

A propósito, hay un par de ángulos diferentes que capturaron la acción... y es totalmente increíble.

Como te puedes imaginar, esto desencadenó una respuesta masiva de la policía. Los socorristas corrieron a la escena para atender a este pobre hombre que milagrosamente sobrevivió.

El hombre fue llevado al hospital y el alcance de sus lesiones no está del todo claro. Ahora, en cuanto a cómo exactamente esto podría haber sucedido en primer lugar, un testigo ocular se cita como afirmando que el conductor se quedó dormido y que el hombre que salió disparado era su marido.

La policía de Los Ángeles persigue a un sospechoso que arroja a un perro por la ventanilla de su camioneta.

Este pedazo de basura era buscado por vandalismo y llevó a los oficiales a una persecución a alta velocidad el jueves por la tarde en varias autopistas de Los Ángeles diferentes antes de entrar a los suburbios de Pomona.

El tipo no parecía reducir la velocidad en absoluto cuando él sorprendentemente arrojó al perro de su vehículo, obligando a las unidades de policía que persiguen a desviarse alrededor del pobre animal.

Por desgracia, no está claro si el cachorro sobrevivió a la caída de la camioneta.

En cuanto al idiota detrás de esto... golpeó a otros dos vehículos durante la persecución, el segundo fue una colisión frontal a 60 mph que le puso fin a la persecución.

Los policías rodearon rápidamente su camión y le gritaron instrucciones, pero no quiso salir. Finalmente, los agentes utilizaron munición no letal para disparar contra su ventanilla y a continuación lo sacaron a rastras y lo detuvieron.

Horrifying sight in L.A. during one of those wild police chases -- as the suspect was speeding away from cops, he tossed a small dog out his window!

This piece of crap was wanted for vandalism, and led CHP officers on a high-speed chase Thursday afternoon on several different L.A. freeways ... before exiting onto surface streets in the suburb of Pomona.

The guy didn't appear to slow down at all when he shockingly threw the dog out of his vehicle, forcing the pursuing police units to swerve around the poor animal.

Unfortunately, it's unclear if the pup even survived the fall from the truck.

As for the jerk behind the wheel ... he went on to hit 2 other vehicles during the chase -- the second one being a head-on 60 mph collision that brought the pursuit to an end.

Cops quickly surrounded his truck, and shouted instructions, but he would not get out on his own. Officers eventually used non-lethal rounds to shoot out his window, and then dragged him out and arrested him.

Una madre de Ohio está tras las rejas después de ser acusada de mentir sobre el cáncer de su hija y utilizarlo para recaudar dinero en un caso que recuerda inquietantemente a la terrible experiencia de Gypsy Rose Blanchard.

Pamela Reed fue detenida el lunes después de que las autoridades dijeran que la mujer le dijo a sus amigos y familiares que su hija, identificada como AR y hoy de 7 años, tenía cáncer, específicamente leucemia mieloide y que sufría convulsiones y era ciega de un ojo.

Las autoridades dicen que Pamela incluso rapó la cabeza de AR para reforzar sus afirmaciones y que habría recaudado alrededor de $8,000 para pagar los gastos de tratamiento del cáncer de AR.

Pero, de acuerdo con la declaración jurada del arresto, todo llegó a su fin cuando la enfermera de la escuela de AR descubrió que no estaba ciega de su ojo derecho, y tras llamar al médico de la niña, se enteró de que no tenía cáncer.

La policía dice que Reed confesó la verdad más tarde a la escuela y le dijo a la policía que reenvasaba recetas para hacer parecer que eran para el tratamiento del cáncer.

Los funcionarios también afirman que le dio medicamentos para las convulsiones a AR que no necesitaba.

Cuando los policías la interrogaron, Reed admitió haber seguido adelante con la mentira durante mucho tiempo porque disfrutaba del apoyo financiero.

Según los policías, Reed ha estado publicando sobre los problemas de salud de su hija desde que tenía 20 meses de edad.

An Ohio mother is behind bars after being accused of lying about her daughter's cancer, and using it to raise money in a case eerily reminiscent of Gypsy Rose Blanchard's ordeal.

Pamela Reed was arrested Monday after authorities say she told friends and family for years her 7-year-old daughter, identified as AR, had cancer -- specifically myeloid leukemia -- suffered from seizures and was blind in her right eye.

Law enforcement says Pamela even shaved AR's head to bolster her claims, and had raised about $8,000 ... which was given to help aid AR's cancer treatment expenses.

But, according to the arrest affidavit, it all came to an end when AR's school nurse discovered she wasn't blind in her right eye, and after calling the girl's doctor, learned she did not have cancer.

Cops say Reed later confessed to doctoring AR's paperwork for the school and told cops she repackaged prescriptions to make it seem like they were for cancer treatment.

Officials also claim she gave AR seizure medication she didn't need.

When cops grilled her, Reed admitted carrying on the big lie for so long, because she enjoyed all the financial support.

According to cops, Reed has been posting about her daughter's health concerns since she was 20 months old.

Ecuador has been thrust into utter chaos after a major drug lord escaped from prison over the weekend -- spurring cartel gang members to wreak havoc all throughout the country.

Cities like Guayaquil and others are being subjected to stickups and raids on the behalf of thugs who are running amok in the streets ... storming TV stations, holding people hostage at gunpoint, and in many cases -- outright executions of law enforcement officials.

The videos making the rounds online right now are absolutely stunning in the worst possible way -- these cartel killers are recording themselves indiscriminately opening fire in public.

Like we said ... it's bedlam of the highest degree, and the disturbing images surfacing are causing alarm in the international community. Ecuador's government has already issued a state of emergency, and military personnel has been deployed to get a handle on things.

There've been countless arrests -- but it's unclear if this attempted crackdown will be effective ... Ecuador has been at the center of corruption allegations for years, so it remains to be seen if their criminal justice system can keep things in check there.

As far as what sparked all this ... it appears to be stemming from a brash prison break for a guy named Adolfo 'Fito' Macias -- who busted out on Sunday, and who leads Los Choneros.

Now, he and his goons are a putting on a show of force ... and being met with pushback not just from law enforcement, but from citizens as well -- many of whom are taking up arms.

Ecuador se ha sumido en el caos absoluto después de que un importante capo de la droga escapara de la cárcel durante el fin de semana, lo que ha llevado a los miembros de las bandas del cártel a sembrar el caos por todo el país.

Ciudades como Guayaquil y otras están siendo objeto de asaltos y redadas en nombre de los matones que están corriendo fuera de control por las calles. Han asaltado estaciones de televisión, tomado personas como rehenes a punta de pistola, y en muchos casos, ejecutado directamente a los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley.

Los videos que están circulando en línea en este momento son absolutamente impresionantes y de la peor forma posible. Estos asesinos del cártel se están grabando indiscriminadamente mientras abren fuego en público.

Como decíamos, es un caos del más alto grado y las perturbadoras imágenes están causando alarma en la comunidad internacional. El gobierno de Ecuador ya ha decretado el estado de emergencia y se ha desplegado personal militar para controlar la situación.

Ha habido innumerables detenciones, pero no está claro si este intento de represión será eficaz. Ecuador ha estado en el centro de acusaciones de corrupción durante años, por lo que está por verse si su sistema de justicia penal puede mantener las cosas bajo control.

En cuanto a lo que provocó todo esto, parece que se deriva de la fuga de la cárcel de un tipo llamado Adolfo 'Fito' Macías, que escapó el domingo y lidera a Los Choneros.

Ahora, él y sus matones se enfrentan al repudio no solo de las fuerzas del orden, sino de los ciudadanos, muchos de los cuales están tomando las armas.

Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon definitely don't see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but that didn't stop the former Fox News anchor from congratulating Don on joining him on Team X.

As you know, Don entered a partnership with X -- formerly Twitter -- on Tuesday, where he'll have a new 30-minute show airing on the platform 3 times a week, and which comes after his firing from CNN last year.

The whole thing was similar to Tucker's situation, as he's already got a show on X. Remember, the 2 of them got canned on the same day, and Tucker extended an olive branch to the guy, despite their long-standing beef ... telling him, "Congratulations. It’s a new world.”

Doesn't mean the dust has settled in their drama, though -- Don replied in the most polite, yet unenthusiastic way possible ... "Thanks Tucker."

Tucker and Don would often butt heads while they were doing their cable news shows ... with Tucker insulting Don and mispronouncing his name on purpose, and Don calling Tucker for what he saw as wild takes.

Un enorme túnel secreto fue descubierto bajo una histórica sinagoga en Nueva York, y cuando las autoridades trataron de cerrarlo, se produjo un caos por las personas que lo estaban usando.

Descabelladas imágenes están circulando por Internet que muestran una escena frenética este lunes en la sede mundial de Jabad-Lubavitch en Crown Heights, Brooklyn, que sirve como lugar de reunión y culto para los judíos ortodoxos de la zona, y todo está relacionado con este pasaje oculto.

Cuento corto, este recinto subterráneo que conduce a la sinagoga fue descubierto por casualidad el mes pasado por civiles que escucharon ruidos extraños debajo de sus casas.

Hay informes de que un grupo selecto de esta sinagoga estaba utilizando el túnel para acceder a una zona cerrada destinada al baño de mujeres, además de otras áreas en y alrededor de Brooklyn, al parecer.

De todos modos, los líderes de la sinagoga decidieron cerrar todo esto y trajeron equipos de construcción para que sellaran el túnel con cemento, pero parece que los chicos que lo estaban utilizando estaban indignados y comenzaron el alboroto dentro de su propia institución sagrada, lo que alertó a la policía.

Ahí es donde aparecen estos videos, que muestran a los judíos enfrentándose a la policía, volcando muebles y aparentemente intentando refugiarse en el túnel para evitar su cierre.

En algún momento, alguien bajó al túnel y grabó un breve recorrido dentro y se puede ver que estos tipos se sentían como en casa, con sus ropas esparcidas por todas partes.

A massive secret tunnel was discovered under a historic Jewish synagogue in NYC -- and when the authorities tried to shut it down ... sheer chaos ensued from the guys using it.

Wild footage is circulating online showing a frenetic scene Monday at the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn's Crown Heights -- serving as the meeting location and place of worship for Orthodox Jews in that area ... and it all has to do with this hidden passage.

Long story short ... this underground enclosure leading into the synagogue was stumbled upon last month by civilians who reported hearing weird noises under their homes.

There's reports that a select group from this synagogue were using the tunnel to access a shuttered women's bathing area ... plus other areas in and around Brooklyn, it seems.

Anyway, leadership from this synagogue decided to shut this whole thing down -- bringing in construction crews to seal up the tunnel with cement ... but apparently, the fellas who'd been using were outraged and started rioting within their own holy institution, and cops came out.

That's where all these clips come in -- showing the Jewish clashing with cops, overturning furniture and seemingly trying to hunker down in their tunnel to avoid it being closed up.

At some point, someone went down into the tunnel itself and recorded a little walk-through -- and you can see these fellas made themselves at home ... draping their clothes all about.
