\n\tParamount didn\u2019t want to keep Stephen Colbert at CBS, but the company has signed Jon Stewart for another year of hosting \u201cThe Daily Show\u201d once per week on Comedy Central.<\/p>\n
\n\tStewart will continue to serve as executive producer for the series through December 2026, the company said Monday, with the show\u2019s pack of contributors taking the helm of the late-night program Tuesday through Thursday.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cJon Stewart continues to elevate the genre he created. His return is an ongoing commitment to the incisive comedy and sharp commentary that define \u2018 Daily Show,\u201d,\u201d said Ari Pearce, head of Comedy Centra, in a statement. \u201cThe renewal is a win for audiences, for Comedy Central and for all our programming partners.\u00a0 We\u2019re proud to support Jon and the extraordinary news team.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tStewart\u2019s renewal comes at a fraught moment for late-night TV. Paramount\u2019s CBS is getting out of the format, and shocked the industry earlier this year by announcing its intention to cancel Colbert\u2019s \u201cLate Show\u201d in May of next year. Disney recently sidelined Jimmy Kimmel for a few days after some of his monologue remarks spurred two of his nation\u2019s largest TV-station owners to threaten not to broadcast his ABC program, \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tLate-night shows have been grappling with the erosion of their traditional audiences, who can increasingly watch clips of the programs the following day via social media rather then having to stay up late to view them live. The shows have also come under scrutiny during President Trump\u2019s two terms in office, with many of the hosts using barbed humor to lash out at various White House policies and pronouncements.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cDaily Show\u201d may have added appeal to Paramount because its cost structure has been revamped. The program does not rely on a single host, though Stewart, who left the program in 2015, and returned to it in 2024, commands much of the spotlight. Stewart hosts only on Mondays, with a ersatz \u201cnews team\u201d comprised of Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, Troy Iwata and Grace Kuhlenschmidt, taking up more on screen duties on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. on occasion holding forth on other days of the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
