Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, the groundbreaking comedy news program he had previously helmed for 16 years.

The homecoming, announced by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios on Wednesday, comes after the production’s yearlong search for a replacement for host Trevor Noah – and just in time for the 2024 presidential election to heat up in earnest.

The plan is for Stewart to host every Monday, beginning on 12 February. He will also serve as an executive producer for the show, which will have a rotating lineup of comedians during the rest of the week.

    Oh glad to have him back. Frankly, I don’t think Trevor did nearly as good a job. A few of the guest hosts were not too bad and quite a few were wayyyyy obnoxious and not all that funny at all.

    Can he do it for another 16 years?
