Jon Stewart will return to 'The Daily Show' as its Monday host and executive producer. Show correspondents will host other nights of the week

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.

    I don’t think Jon is far-left. Maybe a progressive liberal. AFAIK, he’s not even a SocDem, much less a DemSoc. Alex Jones is just a grifter conspiracy theorist. The likes of Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles are full-on fascists, and I’d think the mirror of that would be an anarcho-socialist or communist.

      Maybe I don’t know the granular definitions of these philosophies. Far-left, progressive liberal, democratic socialist are all the same to me. Or at least all how I would describe my own ideas in general conversation. I’m aware there may be subtle differences but, generally for the point of this not political science 101 conversation about someone who isn’t here to represent themselves, I think we can forgo the nit picks.
