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.

    In addition to what the others have said, Jon was a strong advocate for the 9/11 First Responders. Being a New Yorker himself, he took it extremely personally when Congress (controlled by, well go ahead and guess) was dragging their feet on giving these guys the health benefits they needed.

    His testimony before Congress was fantastic, and ultimately he succeeded

      Whoever uploaded that realised they could cut it to exactly the right length.

      I didn’t even notice the first time I saw it and I don’t know it’s deliberate on Jon’s part but the speech and reaction fit perfectly.

      It’s an incredible speech and worthy of that detail.
