Jon Stewart will return to host the satirical comedy series The Daily Show during the 2024 US presidential election for one day a week.
Announcing the 61-year-old American comedian’s comeback to the show that launched him as a global name, Comedy Central said he “is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit”.
In 1999, Stewart took over the comedy show, also featuring an interview segment with guests from the showbiz and political worlds, from Craig Kilborn and ran it for 16 years, scooping heaps of Emmys.
