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.

    USA was the first democracy in the world,

    Off by a few thousand years there bud. Even if you want to limit it to “modern” democracies, Britain has the US beat by a hundred years.

          Oldest still actively used (and I don’t think it’s something to be proud of) but older constitutional documents exist

            The Magna Carta still has a couple statues left in Britain. But they repealed a lot of it as it became irrelevant or outdated.

            That’s what needs to happen in the US too, but the country is set up to basically prevent changes in the constitution at this point because the founding fathers couldn’t foresee the size the country became and the spread of population and technologies across it.

            Also the racism, so much racism.

        Except I’m not American, but you just go ahead and misjudge things you know nothing about, you are quite good at it.
