Stewart will be back in the host chair on Mondays, starting Feb. 12, while a line-up of comedians and correspondents will fill the slot Tuesdays through Thursdays. “Stewart is the voice of our generation, and we are honored to have him return to Comedy Central’s _The Daily Show_ to help us all make sense of the insanity and division roiling the country as we enter the election season,” Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios chief executive Chris McCarthy said in a statement. “In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics, Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit.” The 2024 election season has kicked off in earnest, with [Donald Trump winning the Iowa Republican Caucus](https://time.com/6555762/donald-trump-wins-iowa-republican-caucuses/), and Joe Biden winning the [New Hampshire primary](https://time.com/6576782/trump-wins-new-hampshire-primary-2024/) on Tuesday. Stewart[ hosted _The Daily Show_ for 16 years](https://time.com/3704321/jon-stewart-daily-show-fake-news/) and won audiences over for his scathing remarks on politics and for calling out politicians. He left in 2015 and signed a deal with Apple to host _The Problem With Jon Stewart,_ which ended last year before its third season. According to [_CNN_](https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/24/entertainment/jon-stewart-daily-show/index.html), “Stewart told staffers at the time that he had grown frustrated over the control the Silicon Valley giant wanted to exert over the subject matter covered on the show and its guest list.” ### More From TIME ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6588174/jon-stewart-returns-the-daily-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6588174/jon-stewart-returns-the-daily-show/"},"headline":"Jon Stewart Returns to The Daily Show For Election Season","datePublished":"2024-01-24T18:08:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:50:36.378Z","description":"After months of searching for a new host, The Daily Show announced Jon Stewart will return part-time and serve as executive producer.","url":"https://time.com/6588174/jon-stewart-returns-the-daily-show/","keywords":["Television","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8619948d869cb0bc/698a441fb21a9c7790507fd6/GettyImages-483217420-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Moises Mendez","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/moises-mendez-ii/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8619948d869cb0bc/698a441fb21a9c7790507fd6/GettyImages-483217420-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"The Daily Show With Jon Stewart\" #JonVoyage","caption":"\"The Daily Show With Jon Stewart\" #JonVoyage","creditText":"Brad Barket—Comedy Central/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6588174/jon-stewart-returns-the-daily-show/","name":"Jon Stewart Returns to The Daily Show For Election Season"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Best and Worst Moments of the 2024 Emmy Awards","description":"Now that Hollywood is back in action after both the writers' strike and the actors’ strike came to a resolution late last year, the much delayed and much anticipated 75th Annual Emmy Awards have finally come to pass.
