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.

    “You have heard”?

    Look, could it be that you are spreading rumors?

      It’s a possibility because I didn’t hear it first hand, but my source was an interview I heard on a reputable podcast. TBH I can’t remember which one or who the person was. It was something like the NYT’s ‘The Daily’ or maybe Slate’s ‘What Next TBD’. I believe the person was a journalist who had been dedicated to following the COVID trail since the beginning.

      It’s not a hill I’m prepared to die on, so add your own amount of salt to taste.

        Ha ha ha I appreciate those poetics! No worry, I just know that a lot of people talk a lot about a lot of people, and I’m just trying to stay sane. A lot of people say a lot of things these days, right? That’s why sourcing is important, to me, I think.
