Comedy Central announced Wednesday that Jon Stewart will return behind the desk to host “The Daily Show,” but only on Monday nights, starting Feb. 12. He’s also re-joining the show as executive producer, serving in dual roles through the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

In a quote obtained by the Associated Press, Chris McCarthy, president and CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios said, “Jon 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.”

McCarthy continued, “In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics, Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit.”

Along with Stewart, a rotation of guest hosts will occupy the chair throughout the week on the Emmy-winning late night show.

Stewart’s previous job, hosting “The Problem with Jon Stewart” on Apple TV+ starting in 2021, covered topics like racism, gun control, climate change, and mass incarceration. However, the show ended abruptly in 2023 due to creative differences between Stewart and Apple executives, specifically over producing stories about China and artificial intelligence.

Stewart originally became host of the nightly political comedy show in 1999 before leaving it 2015. Craig Kilborn preceded Stewart as host, and and then Trevor Noah took over when Stewart left in 2015.

“The Daily Show” has birthed national treasures of talent from Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell, John Oliver, Larry Wilmore, and Alabama’s own, Roy Wood Jr.

The show also won an Emmy earlier this month for Variety Talk Series, with Wood going viral from the stage for mouthing the words, “Please hire a host,” in the background during the acceptance speech led by Noah. The comedian announced that he was leaving the show in October 2023 after eight years working as a correspondent.

Comedy Central executives have yet to announce a permanent host.
