Jon Stewart signs extension to remain ‘Daily Show’ host on Mondays through 2025

Jon Stewart will be sticking around on Comedy Central after Election Day.

Paramount Global, the cable network’s parent company, announced Monday that Stewart has signed an extension to host “The Daily Show” on Mondays through December 2025.

The comedian, who hosted the political comedy show from 1998 to 2015, rejoined it as a part-time host in February. He initially was slated to host once a week through the presidential election and serve as an executive producer through 2025.

“I’ve truly enjoyed being back working with the incredible team at The Daily Show and Comedy Central,” Stewart said in a statement. “I was really hoping they’d allow me to do every other Monday, but I’ll just have to suck it up… .”

Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy said in a statement: “Jon’s incisive intellect and sharp wit make him one of the most important voices in political and cultural commentary today. His ability to cut through the noise and deliver clear-eyed insights is exactly what we need which is why we are thrilled to have him leading The Daily Show for another year.”

“Daily Show” correspondents Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic will continue to rotate hosting duties Tuesdays through Thursdays. 

The show has not had a single host since Trevor Noah left in December 2022.

“The Daily Show” airs Mondays through Thursday at 11 p.m. Eastern and is made available on Paramount+ the following morning.
