Jon Stewart Says He Wants to Stay at ‘The Daily Show,’ Urges People to ‘Fight Like Hell’
Jon Stewart aims to extend his hosting role on The Daily Show amid corporate mergers and late-night show cancellations, with contract talks continuing into late 2025.
- On Sunday, Jon Stewart told New Yorker editor David Remnick at the New Yorker Festival that `we're working on staying` and is negotiating an extension with Comedy Central for The Daily Show.
- In recent months, Paramount Global merged with Skydance days after Stephen Colbert's CBS show was told it would be sunsetted next year, with CBS's The Late Show ending in May 2026 and ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel.
- Stewart has questioned whether Jimmy Kimmel, ABC host's suspension was politically motivated, mocked it with an 'administration-compliant' The Daily Show edition, and said, `You don't compromise on what you do, and you do it until they tell you to leave.`
- With his Comedy Central contract expiring in December, Deadline reported the talks come less than a year after Jon Stewart extended his deal through 2025, raising questions about his future.
- Paramount Skydance has reshaped CBS News, hiring Kenneth Weinstein and Bari Weiss, while Jon Stewart warned of institutional `fear and pre-compliance` amid concerns over consolidation and editorial independence.
