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.

      And for my part, I shall not wholly fail of my task, though the Daily Show should perish, if anything passes through this night that can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I also am a Stewart. Did you not know?

        I thought the whole point of Denethor was that a Stewart isn’t supposed to be king?

        Or, just to rile up the Scots, a Stuart.

      i mean to be fair he’s coming back to be an ep and to help with the search since he’ll only be on one day a week while guest hosts will be on the rest
