CBSN
Jon Stewart will return to "The Daily Show" for its upcoming season — hosting one day a week.
Stewart, who hosted the show for 16 years before stepping down in 2015, will serve as the Comedy Central show's host on Monday nights, and will also be an executive producer. The Associated Press reports that Stewart is expected to start Feb. 12 and stay on the show through the 2024 election.
"Jon Stewart is the voice of our generation, and we are honored to have him return to Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show' to help us all make sense of the insanity and division roiling the country as we enter the election season," said Chris McCarthy, the president and CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, in a statement provided to the AP and other news outlets. "In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics, Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit."
