Jon Stewart to Stay at ‘The Daily Show’ Through the 2028 Election
The comedian will remain Monday-night host and executive producer as a rotating cast covers the other weeknights.
- On Monday, Oct. 19, Skydance Corporation announced that Jon Stewart will continue hosting and executive producing 'The Daily Show' through December 2028, securing his position through the November 2028 election.
- The announcement resolves speculation regarding Stewart's future following the recent $110 billion merger between Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, as observers had questioned whether the new conglomerate would retain the host, known for his criticism of Trump.
- Stewart will continue his Monday night hosting duties, while correspondents Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, and Desi Lydic rotate hosting the Tuesday-Thursday episodes, with Jen Flanz serving as showrunner.
- 'The Daily Show' recorded its highest third-quarter viewership in eight years with more than 1 million viewers, following a strong year that included winning two Emmy Awards in 2026.
- Stewart's extension comes amid broader industry instability, including the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' last year, signaling Skydance's commitment to maintaining the influential late-night franchise within its portfolio.
