After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.
Everyone says the darkest timeline started when Harambe was killed. I think it was when Stewart left the Daily Show.
Maybe this will be able to get us back a little bit.
Dicks Out For Harambe
Or 9/11, JFK assassination, or MLK, maybe when Debbie Wasserman Schultz handed the DNC over to the Clinton campaign, maybe after the civil war when the traitors weren’t brought to justice, or when Gore won but didn’t take the seat. There are so many turning points.
I often wonder if an impassioned Jon Stewart plea in 2016 might have motivated enough young Bernie supporters to make the difference in a few swing states.
Chicago Cubs world series.
Why did he leave btw? Did he retire?
Almost seems like he took a holiday and now wants to start back on easier hours.
He had been doing it for 16 years. I think he said he needed a break. He took one for a few years, then started a show on Apple TV which was recently ended by Apple.
Trump as President would have given Jon an ulcer.
Definitely did it for me.
It gave the world an ulcer.
Reading this and thinking “It started in the 90s?” before realising 16 years ago was 2008…
Nothing would have been easier than hosting during the 2016 campaign w/ Trump doing the writing for him.
He could have had a show compromised of nothing but reading quotes verbatim, pausing only for nonverbal reactions
