Production is set to begin this summer, and the series is set to debut in late 2015.
The timing of the series order comes just after Jon Stewart announced his own departure from "The Daily Show" earlier this month.
Bee and Jones' names had previously been thrown in the ring as potential replacements for Jon Stewart.
