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.

    left mirror-image version of Jones?

    No. That does a disservice to how fucking crazy the right is now.

    Maybe try the tankies from Hexbear if you want a mirror.

      how fucking crazy the right is now.

      Yes. The mirror image of ‘fucking crazy’ is reasonably sane. Or are you suggesting Stewart isn’t as equally sane as the right is crazy?

        The mirror image of fucking crazy is just crazy in the opposite direction. Mirrors flip the image.

        Also Serinus is dead-on, Jon Stewart isn’t far-left at all. Even if he were, it’d be unfair to make any type of comparison to Alex Jones, who goes well beyond far-right politics into mental illness and insanity.
