Jon Stewart will return to 'The Daily Show' as its Monday host and executive producer. Show correspondents will host other nights of the week

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.

    It’s not that cruel. I get what you’re saying and agree a little. But if drafted into the job, I think he’d be proud to serve his country and the world.

    I think it’s not just the main part of the job he doesn’t want. He doesn’t want to be the center of the media storm. He doesn’t want his years of testicle jokes to end up harming the country. He doesn’t want the job of begging for the job.

    And the main job would be a duty he’d serve, not a fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

    If the circumstances are right, I’d consider writing him in. If there wasn’t a more important vote. Honestly I should have done it when I lived in Maryland.
