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.
i really hope he a) brings some of the problem w/ jon stewart writers with him, because they did a great job there b) he gives desi lydic the host chair eventually and c) he refrains from doing that awful centrist “rally for sanity” nonsense this cycle since republicans pretty much want me dead as a trans person.
JS isn’t much of a centrist
While he is enlightened, he ain’t no centrist.
“Rally for sanity” was such a timely thing too, the naivety of appealing to people’s reason is a lot more obvious now.
I got it confused with the Reason Rally at first, it’s a pretty hilarious lineup in today’s context, but another thing from that time in US politics.
Well said… Its the only rally I ever been to, and i left there with a shred of hope that has long since evaporated. Denver was also a blast.

That was a fun day in DC, I’d do it again in an instant
The “rally for sanity” was not centrist. It was a direct attack on the right wing media ecosystem
