Jon Stewart Extends Hosting Deal with The Daily Show

Jon Stewart has extended his hosting role on 'The Daily Show' through December 2025, continuing to air episodes on Monday nights. This extension comes as his sharp political commentary has led to significant ratings improvements for the show since his return in early 2024. Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy praised Stewart's insights as vital in today's media landscape. Stewart, who originally returned to the show earlier this year, will maintain his position as an executive producer while the rest of the week will feature rotating hosts from the show's news team. His return has been marked by a notable increase in viewership, with some episodes achieving the highest ratings in years. Stewart humorously remarked about the unending nature of the current political climate, suggesting he feels compelled to stay engaged with the ongoing election cycle.
