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.
Is the show itself only airing on Mondays, or is that just the only night that Jon will host?
Also, as excited as I am to get him back, I hope he didn’t let himself get bullied out of retirement. He had definitely earned it.
He will host Mondays and Executive Produce. Other correspondents will host T, W, and Th.
I don’t think he got bullied out of retirement, I think running the sanctuary full time, while fulfilling, might only meet his needs 80% of the time and he still wants to express himself creatively.
And plus, animal sanctuaries are expensive to run.
He didn’t retire, really. His show on Apple+ was canceled a few months ago.
I was actually wondering if he would wind up back at home because of it.
No, his original retirement was from the daily show to have an animal sanctuary with his wife.
Apple gave him a stupid amount of money to come out of retirement.
