Jon Stewart Returns to ‘Daily Show’ as Monday Host, Executive Producer
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.

Honestly I'm surprised that HBO hasn't picked him up and done a back to back with John Oliver.
HBO barely exists anymore
When the app changed from hbo go to max, I was a little happy because Cinemax was the one with the bad rep back in the day for having softcore porn, a.k.a. “Skinamax” and it felt like a small victory over the fake outrage conservatives.
That stuff isn't even on Max as far as I can tell.
Why would they? They are already crushing it with Last Week Tonight. No need to mess with a winning formula.
They used to run Daily Show and The Colbert Report back to back on Comedy Central and that worked fine. Both shows were pretty popular.
It worked incredibly well from my perspective. Pretty much everyone I know that watched either show would watch both as a single block. I remember Colbert and Stewart doing little bits between the shows as well sometimes. Back-to-back was honestly a fantastic idea.
Yep I thought so too, it was a nice block of TV that really ran well together
