Over eight years after he left “The Daily Show,” beloved host Jon Stewart is making a triumphant return to the Comedy Central series. Starting in February, Stewart is back as host of “The Daily Show” every Monday and will be serving as an executive producer on the series through at least 2025.
Stewart’s return is serendipitous as he left “The Daily Show” just before the 2016 presidential election kicked into gear, and days after Donald Trump announced his run for president. Stewart famously mocked Trump’s entry into the race, but of course what began as a joke soon became our reality when Trump was elected that year.
