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.
Nice, will definitely check it out. Haven’t watched since he left really.
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.
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.
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.
