🚨 BREAKING: Jon Stewart Signs New Deal — “The Daily Show” to Continue Through 2026! 🎬🔥
Comedy legend Jon Stewart isn’t going anywhere — and fans couldn’t be happier.
The Emmy-winning satirist has officially signed another one-year deal to remain as host and executive producer of The Daily Show through December 2026, marking his third renewal since returning in 2024.
▶️ “We’re working on staying,” Stewart teased last month during a live interview with The New Yorker’s David Remnick — and now it’s official.
Since reclaiming the Monday-night chair, Stewart has reignited the show’s political firepower, joining forces with co-hosts Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, and Josh Johnson. The result?
🔥 Record-breaking ratings,
🏆 A wave of Emmy nominations, and
💥 A renewed cultural relevance in a chaotic election cycle.
But the journey hasn’t been without drama. Following the abrupt cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert — a show Stewart also executive produced — fans feared the same fate might befall The Daily Show.
Stewart didn’t hold back, joking to his bosses at Paramount, “Go f** yourself,”* while admitting that he’s torn between walking away and staying to “keep fighting in the foxhole.”
Despite corporate shakeups and ownership changes under Skydance Media’s David Ellison, Stewart’s influence remains untouchable.
Comedy Central’s Head of Comedy, Ari Pearce, praised him, saying:
“Jon Stewart continues to elevate the genre he created. His return is an ongoing commitment to the incisive comedy and sharp commentary that define The Daily Show. This renewal is a win for audiences, for Comedy Central, and for all our partners.”
💬 For fans, the message is clear:
Jon Stewart isn’t just back — he’s here to stay.
