Jon Stewart will continue to lead “The Daily Show” through 2028.

The host has extended his contract with the Comedy Central series for another two years and will continue to man the desk through the next presidential election. Stewart’s contract was set to end at the end of 2026 after signing a one-year renewal in November 2025.

Stewart will remain part of the rotating lineup of hosts that includes Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic, with Troy Iwata and Grace Kuhlenschmidt as non-hosting correspondents. He also stays on as an executive producer with showrunner and executive producer Jen Flanz and Stewart’s longtime manager, James “Baby Doll” Dixon.
