Jon Stewart Returns to 'The Daily Show' as Producer and Part-Time Host

Stewart's return expected to boost ratings as show continues with rotating lineup of hosts for the rest of the week.

Jon Stewart, the former host of 'The Daily Show', is returning to the show as a full-time producer and part-time host on Monday nights through the 2024 presidential election.
Stewart's return comes after Trevor Noah, his successor, left the show and a rotation of guest hosts took over during Comedy Central's search for a permanent anchor.
Hasan Minhaj, a former correspondent, was reportedly the leading candidate to succeed Noah until a scandalous story published by The New Yorker challenged the veracity of some of his stand-up comedy, leading executives at Paramount to view him as a liability.
Stewart's return is expected to drive a ratings spike, a measure of success that eluded Noah and the interim rotation of guest hosts.
The show will feature a rotating lineup of hosts for the other three nights it airs each week.
