He's Back But Only Temporarily!

Jon Stewart returns to The Daily Show.

When Trevor Noah retired from The Daily Show it left a huge void. It appears that Paramount Global announced they have resigned Jon Stewart to hosting The Daily Show. Almost 10 years ago, Stewart retired. 

He will return to hosting on Mondays during the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Knowing that the likelihood of a rematch between President Joe Biden and former president Donald J. Trump, The Daily Show needs a host who can hit 'em hard. 

Oh by the way, Arby's, you know Jon's back.

Stewart, who returns as the 2024 presidential election season heats up, will also executive produce the show and work with a rotating line-up of comedians who will helm the program the rest of the week, Tuesdays through Thursdays.

“Stewart is the voice of our generation, and we are honored to have him return to Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show’ to help us all make sense of the insanity and division roiling the country as we enter the election season,” Chris McCarthy, chief executive of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement.

“In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics,” McCarthy added, “Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit.”

Stewart gained acclaim hosting “The Daily Show” for his sharp humor which was deployed to deliver stinging — and hilarious — monologues often aimed at exposing the hypocrisy of politicians.

With the 2024 election featuring Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Stewart is likely to have no shortage of material to work with. Stewart has been a strong critic of Trump and will undoubtedly use the platform to needle the former president.
