Jon Stewart isn't saying goodbye to The Daily Show just yet

As a long-time fan of The Daily Show and a gamer who’s spent countless hours waiting for game updates, I can’t help but feel a sense of relief and excitement at Jon Stewart’s decision to extend his stay on the show. It’s like getting an unexpected DLC pack for a game you thought was nearing its end.

Contrary to rumors, it turns out that Jon Stewart, the veteran host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, won’t be leaving as previously thought! He’ll be staying with the nightly talk show for a longer period than initially planned, so we can still look forward to his presence for a while longer.

Initially departing from The Daily Show in 2015 following a 16-year stint, the renowned talk show host then ventured into standup comedy and produced content for HBO and Apple TV+. However, when Trevor Noah announced his exit in 2022, Stewart returned to host on Monday nights with the intention of staying until after the U.S. presidential elections on Nov. 5. Yet, it appears that plan has now altered.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but share my excitement about the latest TVLine scoop! It turns out Stewart has inked a deal with Comedy Central to keep hosting The Daily Show all the way through December 2025 – that’s way longer than expected! Originally, he had only planned to stick around until next year. But now, I get an extra year of his wit and humor. This news makes me one happy viewer!

Stewart has been an indispensable element of the late-night talk show, excelling at his role. He’s widely admired by many, with viewers finding him particularly appealing. Consequently, it comes as no shock that Comedy Central and the show are content to retain him for a while longer. Given that they haven’t yet found a permanent host, instead opting to rotate daily hosts, which surprisingly seems to be effective. Personally, I find this setup acceptable.

On November 5th, beginning at 11 p.m. ET, Stewart and The Daily Show’s news team are set to present a live election special titled “Indecision 2024: We’re Stuck with It Now“. This hour-long event will include results from key swing states, insightful commentary, interviews, and survival tips for navigating the potential post-election chaos, as described in the synopsis. This program will air on Comedy Central.

Tune in to “The Daily Show” every weeknight at 11 p.m. ET on Comedy Central. You can also catch up on new episodes by streaming them on Paramount+ the following day.
