Comedian will host show he previously helmed for 16 years every Monday starting 12 February and serve as executive producer

Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, the groundbreaking comedy news program he had previously helmed for 16 years.

The homecoming, announced by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios on Wednesday, comes after the production’s yearlong search for a replacement for host Trevor Noah – and just in time for the 2024 presidential election to heat up in earnest.

The plan is for Stewart to host every Monday, beginning on 12 February. He will also serve as an executive producer for the show, which will have a rotating lineup of comedians during the rest of the week.

    The Jon Stewart Crossfire episode is still one of my favorite interviews ever. It might not have been Jon’s shining moment, but it did cost Tuck his job. Though, thinking about it, tuck did pretty well for himself afterwards.

    Oh God. Did Jon Stewart create Tuckers Fox success?

      Kind of like Seth Meyers wondering if he was the catalyst for Trump to run for president after mocking him at the White House correspondents dinner.
