Jon Stewart Is Returning To 'The Daily Show'
“The Daily Show” has finally found a new, er old, host: Jon Stewart.
The Comedy Central stalwart will return to the show as a once-weekly host throughout the 2024 election cycle, Paramount Global executives told Variety Wednesday. He will also serve as an executive producer.
According to Deadline, Stewart will return Feb. 12.
Other days of the week will be hosted by the show’s correspondents, including Desi Lydic, Michael Kosta, Ronna Chieng and Jordan Klepper.
Stewart shepherded the late night show to prominence as host from 1999 to 2015, winning the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Series for 10 straight years from 2003 to 2012.
He was succeeded by Trevor Noah, who stepped back from the role in 2022 after seven years at the helm.
