Jon Stewart will remain at the helm of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” through December 2028, extending his once-a-week hosting role through the next presidential election.
Skydance announced the two-year extension on Monday, resolving uncertainty about Stewart’s contract, which was due to expire in December.
The new deal means one of television’s most prominent critics of Donald Trump is staying in place for the rest of Trump’s term.
Been watching off and on for years. Stewart definitely has the hardest hitting lines, but Klepper and Chieng have grown on me. I’ve seen a few clips of Cheing outside the Show, I think the writers could unleash him a little and he’d do better.
Oh yes. Even in the years w/o Jon, there has been a lot of talent that rotated in and out of there.
I think those two started during the Trevor years? Not sure. Klepper had his own short-lived show where he played an Alex Jones type of character and that was great. His on-the-street interviews are to die for.
And Chieng is hilarious. Some of his interviews (where he’s interviewing someone he knows, I think) have been real stand-outs. I like Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta too.
