Jon Stewart has signed a two-year deal to host Comedy Central’s The Daily Show once a week and remain an executive producer through 2028, The Hollywood Reporter reports. TV Insider reports that his hosting and producing duties run through December 2028, spanning the next presidential election.
Stewart will continue hosting on Mondays, while Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta and Desi Lydic rotate through the other hosting nights, according to Deadline. His executive producer role extends across the week, The Hollywood Reporter says.
Stewart re-upped as his earlier deal neared its end, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The previous one-year renewal was signed in November 2025 and was set to expire at the end of 2026, according to Variety. Stewart returned to the show in 2024 in a once-weekly hosting role. George Cheeks, Skydance TV’s co-chair and chief content officer, welcomed the extension: “We are excited to continue our partnership with Jon and his award-winning news team,” as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.
