Jon Stewart isn’t going anywhere just yet! Comedy Central has confirmed that the legend himself will continue to grace The Daily Show stage, albeit just once a week, because even satire needs PTO. The network revealed Stewart will stay on as both host and executive producer through December 2025. Apparently, you just can’t get enough of a guy who blends political critique with the vibe of an exasperated dad.
Nine months ago, Stewart made a surprise comeback to the show he ran from 1998 to 2015, making political nerds and Gen Z alike squeal, “Who’s this guy again?” Since then, he’s been hosting the show weekly on what we assume is the universally agreed-upon “Monday of Sadness.”
But wait—there’s more! Not only is Jon sticking around to roast presidential hopefuls through the election, but his new contract guarantees he’ll be around to roll his eyes well into the first year of the next president’s reign… I mean, term. Looks like 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for biting monologues and uncomfortable political truths delivered with a side of dad jokes.
Chris McCarthy, the big boss of Showtime, MTV, and apparently “Words That Are Too Long for Business Cards,” couldn’t contain his excitement. “Jon’s intellect and humor are essential in these confusing times,” McCarthy gushed, clearly in full fanboy mode. “We need someone who can cut through the nonsense—and make us feel bad about our voting decisions in the funniest way possible.”
Stewart himself chimed in with a statement that can only be described as peak Jon Stewart: “I’ve really loved being back with the crew at The Daily Show—they’re smart, funny, and also don’t mind when I call meetings ‘Jonversations.’ Honestly, I was hoping they’d let me switch to every other Monday, but hey, what’s life without suffering, right?”
So, buckle up, America! Jon’s back to grumble his way through the absurdity of modern politics, one snarky Monday at a time. And remember: democracy isn’t dead, it just has a headache—and Jon Stewart is here with a sarcastic ice pack.
