NEW YORK — Jon Stewart is set to keep his incisive commentary alive as he has agreed to continue as the host of “The Daily Show” on Mondays until the end of the next year.

Paramount made the announcement on Monday, revealing that Stewart will remain at the helm of the Comedy Central program once a week, following his engagement throughout much of 2024 as the U.S. presidential election approaches.

Stewart, who won an Emmy for his work, was the host of “The Daily Show” from 1999 to 2015, where he famously provided sharp and satirical critiques of political affairs and current events, along with conducting interviews with various news figures. Since his return, he has retained his signature biting style, particularly in light of the dramatic shift in the presidential race that occurred when President Joe Biden declared he would not run for reelection and subsequently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate.

Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global, expressed excitement about Stewart’s return, stating, “His capacity to cut through the clutter and provide clear insights is just what we need, which is why we are excited to have him lead ‘The Daily Show’ for another year.”

Originally scheduled to host only until the November elections, Stewart humorously mentioned in a statement that he would prefer to host every other Monday, but he is willing to adapt and commit to the weekly schedule.

In addition to his hosting duties, Stewart will continue to serve as an executive producer of the show, which features a rotating cast of hosts for the rest of the week. “The Daily Show” is broadcast from Monday to Thursday at 11 p.m. Eastern on Comedy Central and is available for streaming the following day on Paramount+.
