Jon Stewart Signs Longest Extension Since 2024 to Host Daily Show Through 2028

Culture1 day ago

Skydance announced Monday that the comedian's tenure as a weekly presenter on Comedy Central will continue for another two years, resolving uncertainty about a contract expiring in December. Jon Stewart will remain the host of "The Daily Show" through the 2028 presidential election, ensuring that a prominent critic of President Trump stays on the air for the rest of the current term.

The agreement is the longest extension Stewart has signed since returning to the program in 2024. His continued role at Skydance, which is owned by Larry and David Ellison, serves as a reminder that claims of the owners turning their programming into pro Trump propaganda are incorrect.
