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.
i really hope he a) brings some of the problem w/ jon stewart writers with him, because they did a great job there b) he gives desi lydic the host chair eventually and c) he refrains from doing that awful centrist “rally for sanity” nonsense this cycle since republicans pretty much want me dead as a trans person.
While he is enlightened, he ain’t no centrist.
The “rally for sanity” was not centrist. It was a direct attack on the right wing media ecosystem
Oh, right, he’s out of a job for having too many principles in Apple’s vicinity.
Man, this century turned out so weird.
I kinda want his first big story to be the report on China and he titles it “TOO HOT FOR APPLE!”
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?

USA was the first democracy in the world,
Off by a few thousand years there bud. Even if you want to limit it to “modern” democracies, Britain has the US beat by a hundred years.
I read that and I was like “Is that what Americans learn in school???”
they definitely teach “oldest constitution” where i am.
USA was the first democracy in the world
Uh, no it wasn’t.
American Jesus invented democracy back in 1775 and then cast a spell to hide its origins in history so the other countries won’t be as jealous of us.
Oh hell yes.
Put Michelle Wolf on all the time you cowards!
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.

“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!
Nice, will definitely check it out. Haven’t watched since he left really.
That’s because Trevor Noah was objectively a terrible choice to fill that roll.
He might of have been a fine choice to take over from Craig Kilborn’s Daily Show, but not the deeply political satire show that Jon Stewart had turned it into.
His comedy isn’t for me, but he’s not an unfunny person. But his entire knowledge of American Politics and culture seemed to mostly come from watching MSNBC, CNN, and reading the New York Times. His lack of nuance and a deeper understanding, well, it showed in the final product.
It’s almost like they looked at how well Jon Oliver did as a guest host and just assumed he’d be a diverse Jon Oliver.
He might of have been
My eyes! It burns!
That grammatical abomination is enough to invalidate your entire point.
Calling a typo a “grammatical abomination” is certainly one way to show everyone that you’re a very smart and special individual. I personally think everyone should take you super duper seriously.
I tried Noah. Dudes stand up is legitimately good, but his Daily Show stuff could be summed up as “what’s all that about shrug”. Just wasn’t the right man for the job.
Big fan of Stewart! So excited for this.
But can’t stop thinking of the story that Hasan Minhaj was pushed out of this role. He was supposed to be at the front of this race, then The New Yorker does an “expose” in him, he gets dropped from the race and he makes a video where he has receipts against the New Yorker piece. So some people claim that it was done just to get him dropped from the race.
They did an expose of him?
Haha, meant to say exposé
Oh, my question was less about the term itself, but the background and what happened in relation to Hasan. I ended up searching for it and found it.
I liked his own show’s format, I don’t know if he’d be a great replacement for Jon/Noah. I really wish all this talent was given their own shows and given time to let them grow. The Jon Stewart Daily Show Cinematic Universe, if you will. You might say Colbert and Oliver are part of it, just on other networks. But Comedy Central should give Klepper, Minhaj, Bee, Roy Wood Jr., etc., their own shows (again, in some cases) and let them go, even if they are not raging successes at the very outset. Maybe even do crossover shows, etc…does that mean Comedy Central needs maybe to spin off an entire channel for fake news shows? Yes.
Is there any way to stream TDS? No way I’m getting cable for 1 show
