Jon Stewart to host The Daily Show through 2028

Jon Stewart will continue hosting *The Daily Show* until the end of 2028, appearing once a week under a new two-year contract, Comedy Central and Skydance TV announced on Monday. He will also remain an executive producer of the programme. [1]

Stewart, 63, returned to the show in February 2024, nearly a decade after leaving the full-time presenting role. He hosted from January 1999 to August 2015, before Trevor Noah took over from 2015 to 2022. [1]

Stewart signed a one-year extension late last year, keeping him on the show through 2026. The new agreement extends his run beyond the next US presidential election. [1]

George Cheeks of Skydance TV called Stewart “a talent of his generation” and described *The Daily Show* as one of television’s most influential formats and a cornerstone of Comedy Central. The programme has received 15 Emmy nominations and won two, according to Nieuws.nl. [1]
