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 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.

            And then fucked him off because he dared to criticize China, who got big mad at Apple who wants to sell iPhones to Chinese still.

          His apple+ show kinda sucked though tbh. I wanted to like it but it didn’t have “it”. I could never get into it and stopped watching it pretty quickly

      He will host Mondays and Executive Produce. Other correspondents will host T, W, and Th.
