Jon Stewart Is Resuming His 'Daily Show' Hosting Gig After 8 Years


Jon Stewart is returning to host ‘The Daily Show’ on a part-time basis after leaving the gig behind in 2015

“Jon 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, president and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement to multiple outlets on Wednesday, January 24. “In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics, Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit.” After Noah’s abrupt departure, the series was kept afloat by weekly celebrity guests including Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, Chelsea Handler, Kal Penn and Wanda Sykes.
