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.

      I really like Seth Meyers. His material is very targeted and curated to his audience, though, which he’s gotten to know very well by interacting with them, especially in YT comments (indirectly). You’re either in that audience or you’re not.
