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.

I wish it was permanent but this is a great alternative. Comedy Central also won’t limit him creatively like Apple TV did in fear of China. Hasan was also kind of screwed with a hit job as I felt he would’ve gotten a large audience.
