After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.
Incompetent searchers, they already had Roy Wood Jr’s phone number.
I actually liked the rotating host format tbh. I feel like it kept the show fresh and fit well with the post-Stewart vibe where it was more about the content and writing than the host.
For real, what an enormous waste of time. I was actually looking forward to their new choice.
