Trevor Noah is a riot.
The other thing is, it's very likely they offered it to other people who turned it down. A daily show (literally) is a grind and if you have other projects going on or are afraid the spotlight would be too defining or whatever...then I can see lots of people saying "no, thanks."
Wilmore's show I hated the panels and after Colbert, wasn't exactly sure how they thought it was going to work. But Wilmore has paid his dues forever and so, I suspect given some time he'll get his sea legs.
