Comedian will host show he previously helmed for 16 years every Monday starting 12 February and serve as executive producer
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.
This is the real way to win elections. It's a lot harder to change political opinions than it is to simply get people off their asses to vote. ~50% turnout in most elections, and that's true for both parties.
