Jon Stewart returning to 'The Daily Show' as part-time host, executive producer
Fox News
Comedy Central announced that Jon Stewart will return as a part-time host to "The Daily Show" through the 2024 election.
"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/MTV Entertainment Studios, said in a statement.
Stewart's surprising return comes as the 2024 White House race appears to be heading towards an almost assured rematch between President Biden and former President Trump, and media progressives are already counting on him to be yet another voice against the latter as the election heats up. The left-leaning Stewart turned the "fake news" show into a cultural institution during the George W. Bush years, and many of the show's "correspondents" have gone onto become stars in their own right, such as Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Steve Carell.
