After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.
A BRILLIANT LIGHT SUDDENLY BURNS IN THE DARKNESS.
HE HAS RISEN
I’ll never not believe that if Jon was running the Daily Show for the 2016 election season, Trump wouldn’t have been elected.
Either way, Zelenskyy proved what a satirical comedian with good character can do on the world stage. Wish Jon would just run for office already…
Side note: Mehdi Hasan has left MSNBC… Apart from Jon, I can think of nobody else more qualified to run the Daily Show.
