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.

    Man, this century turned out so weird.

    Absolutely. You know when Bush Junior was President, we called that crazy too, when he was elected for a 2nd term we basically lost all hope for the American people and USA as a nation. That was just too stupid in so many ways.
    That USA was able to top that with Trump, makes you lose hope in humanity. USA was EDIT: (among) the first democracies in the world, but can’t do democracy even remotely well.
    There is still hope, but it’s vanishing ever more over time. Nixon would be a hero of competence and integrity today, compared to Bush and Trump.
    This is NOT just a one time off, this is now a pattern.

    Some sources claim USA is the oldest democracy, apparently oldest doesn’t mean first?
