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.

    I’m continually perplexed by people who claim to be anti-nazi but are here to light up (checks notes) Winston Churchill.

      I think there’s room for “Churchill was instrumental in the fight against fascism” and “Churchill was himself racist and enacted racist policies that lead to genocide” to coexist.

        In the context of a good faith conversation, I agree.

        When people are bending over backwards to intentionally push well-defined buttons to drive state-level propaganda, I do not.

        It’s so incredibly well crafted, this doofuses original post. He argues that Zelenski is a nightmare to the Left-wing.

        Why? Because it’s a position and delivery crafted to the general Lemmy populace. “I’m left wing! Is Zelensky against me? Should I be reconsidering my position? Am I against Ukraine, because I’m certainly for left-wing stuff”

        It’s nausiatingly transparent propaganda. Ever meter of Ukraine under Russian occupation, it is illegal to even SUGGEST that LGBT is good, it’s ILLEGAL to merely express POSITIVE SENTIMENT. While we can agree in Ukraine it isn’t perfect, it’s NOT EVEN CLOSE to the oppression in Russia.

        There is nuance that adults in good faith can examine. The FBI investigation into Russian interference in US elections pointed out that the EXACT vulnerability in western sensibilities that their propeganda exploits is the concept that every assertion warrants a discussion. Just cycle wedge issues. Drop in, drop a bomb, fuck off.

        It’s entirely appropriate to just say “No, you’re clearly a bad faith actor and I’m not going to give the illusion of legitimacy of your claims by digging into the nuances with you”
