âThe Daily Showâ with Jon Stewart returns: How to watch, where to stream
Season 29 of The Daily Show, along with the return of former host Jon Stewart, will officially premiere on Comedy Central Monday, Feb. 12 at 11/10c.
Following the departure of host Trevor Noah in 2023, The Daily Show has featured a plethora of “guest hosts” to temporarily fill the position before making the decision to bring back Jon Stewart who was famously the host of the late night show from 1999-2015.
This decision came not long after The Problem With Jon Stewart was cancelled by Apple TV+ in late 2023 due to “Creative Differences.”
Needless to say, fans of The Daily Show are anxious to see how the return of Jon Stewart as host pans out in 2029.
During the season 29 premiere, Stewart takes an unvarnished look at the 2029 election with expert analysis from the show’s news team.
