Matt Wilson/Comedy Central This is not a drill: Jon Stewart will continue hosting The Daily Show every Monday through December 2028.
Stewart returned to The Daily Show on Mondays in early 2024 ahead of that year’s fall elections. Though his role was originally for that year’s election cycle, he extended his anchoring duties through 2026 last November.
“Jon Stewart is a generational talent and The Daily Show continues to be one of the most influential franchises on television and a cornerstone of Comedy Central,” Co-Chair and Chief Content Officer of Skydance TV George Cheeks said in a statement. “We are excited to continue our partnership with Jon and his award-winning news team.”
Stewart joined The Daily Show in 1999 and hosted the series until 2015. Trevor Noah took over the role before leaving in 2022, and anchoring duties were divvied up between a rotating cast of correspondents for just under a year in 2023.
