Jon Stewart is set to return as host of The Daily Show in 2026, according to the latest announcement. Stewart originally served as full-time host from 1999 to 2015 before returning to a part-time role in 2024.

Jon Stewart has extended his 'Daily Show' contract for another year amid the mounting criticism toward Paramount following its settlement with Donald Trump and Colbert's own cancellation.

"I'm a solo act," she said. After first taking over the desk in January 2023 as a guest host following Trevor Noah's departure on the Comedy Central late night show, the comedian's second guest-hosting stint that November featured her co-hosting with correspondent Jordan Klepper.

On "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart argued President Donald Trump is planning to seek an unconstitutional third term in 2028.
