Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, the groundbreaking comedy news program he had previously helmed for 16 years.

The homecoming, announced by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios on Wednesday, comes after the production’s yearlong search for a replacement for host Trevor Noah – and just in time for the 2024 presidential election to heat up in earnest.

The plan is for Stewart to host every Monday, beginning on 12 February. He will also serve as an executive producer for the show, which will have a rotating lineup of comedians during the rest of the week.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, the groundbreaking comedy news program he had previously helmed for 16 years.

The homecoming, announced by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios on Wednesday, comes after the production’s yearlong search for a replacement for host Trevor Noah – and just in time for the 2024 presidential election to heat up in earnest.

“In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics, Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit,” McCarthy said.

He specialized in takedowns of political hypocrisy and was particularly vocal about the damage done by the mindless partisanship that was increasingly becoming a facet of American public life.

Following Noah’s own decision to step down in December, the show featured a variety of hosts, including Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones and Hasan Minhaj.

The Paramount+ service said it will stream episodes featuring Stewart the day after they air on Comedy Central, in a victory for a platform still struggling to match the viewership figures of its competitors.


The original article contains 415 words, the summary contains 175 words. Saved 58%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I wish he would run for President, even if it was just as an educational comedy bit. Jon Stewart is the president we need but don't deserve.
