After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

I'm glad he's continuing to be on the "national stage," but I strongly want Jon Stewart to run for president of the United States of America.

He knows his political history, American history, and world history. He's willing to fight the fight to do what's right. Example: Jon Stewart - Calling out Congress over benefits for 9/11 first responders. The outcome that came (fucking) years later. This is of course one of many things that he's stood up for in the public eye.

And Jon stuck with the first responders for as long as it took. If Jon ran for president I would move to the states just to vote for him.
