Jon Stewart has signed on to keep hosting The Daily Show on Monday nights through December 2025, Comedy Central has announced. The comedian, who served as the show’s nightly host for 16 years, from 1999 to 2015, began hosting once a week earlier this year and was initially expected to stay on only through the 2024 election. “I’ve truly enjoyed being back working with the incredible team at The Daily Show and Comedy Central. I was really hoping they’d allow me to do every other Monday, but I’ll just have to suck it up…,” Stewart said in an official statement. Instead of hiring a new permanent host for the “fake news” program, Comedy Central will continue to rotate Daily Show correspondents as hosts Tuesday through Thursday night. Stewart is set to interview Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro tonight, Monday, Oct. 28 and will helm a live hour-long Election Night special on Tuesday, Nov. 5.
