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.

    Love JS, and loved daily show. But late night talk shows, have sailed. Stick a fork in them.

      Jon Oliver seems to have shown that’s not the case. If the show is good, and it’s hosted where you don’t need to pay for a b-tier streaming service, people will watch.

            He’s 11pm est, maybe they live in Hawaii or Alaska. Then John Oliver is prime time, not late night.

            Do I need to speak more slowly?

              I guess. John Oliver does interview segments, but they’re rare.

              Most of the Daily Show is a current events monologue and a report segment. The interview is the last 7 to 8 min.

      They will be cut up and all over socials the next morning. Nobody hit like Jon in the Daily Show format.

        Yeah. Some adjusted format talk shows have survived. I’m just saying. Been a fan, but I think the late night format, while modified, I still wouldn’t by stock in it.

          Talk shows are more popular than ever now. We just call them “video podcasts,” sometimes include increasingly hotter hot sauces, and watch them in a different places.
