Jon Stewart has extended his deal to remain the host of “The Daily Show” on Monday nights through December 2025. “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,” Chris McCarthy, Paramount Global co-CEO and Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios CEO, said in a news release. “The Daily Show” has nurtured a long list of comedians such as Steve Carell, Ed Helms, John Oliver, Aasif Mandvi, Olivia Munn, Larry Wilmore, Samantha Bee, and Roy Wood Jr.
“I thought I was going to do it over at ...
Apple TV+,” he said. “But they decided ..
. that they didn’t want me to say things that might get me in trouble.” “This is remarkable, to have an opportunity to work with this incredibly talented group, once a week, has really made my Mondays,” Stewart said.
“The Daily Show” airs Mondays through Thursdays at 11 p.m. ET on Comedy Central and streams the next day on Paramount+.
