Jon Stewart Extends Daily Show Hosting Through 2028
Tap title to read story
Jon Stewart will remain the host of Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show" through December two thousand and twenty‑eight, extending his once‑a‑week role through the next presidential election. Skydance announced the two‑year extension on Monday, resolving uncertainty about Stewart’s contract, which was due to expire in December. The new deal means one of television’s most prominent critics of President Donald Trump is staying in place for the rest of Trump’s term. Stewart will continue hosting on Monday nights, an arrangement in place since January two thousand and twenty‑four, and serving as executive producer of the series. The agreement is Stewart’s longest extension since returning to the program, following two successive one‑year renewals.
