The only way this would get any better is of he can get an interview with Donald Trump. That'd be like bringing the pig to a slaughter house

Trump is pretty dumb, but I don't think he's dumb enough to do that. Jon would eviscerate him.

I am so here for this
What’s the best way, without cable or torrenting, to watch Comedy Central these days?
Edit: looks like Paramount+ might have it in the states. From time to time I sub to that to blast through all its Trek content, so this might work out for me.

They've got a really talented bench of people, I'm surprised this has gone on so long (though I am far from a regular viewer). My vote would have gone to Jordan Klepper, who I think has both the intelligence and sincere anger that made Jon Stewart the cultural force he was on the show. My theory is that the execs saw him as too much of a risk after his previous (unfortunately) failed solo outings.
Yeah that's a pretty good take. Klepper's on the street interviews with MAGA idiots and the like are the most Daily Show feeling bits of content I've seen since Stewart left.
Honestly I'm surprised that HBO hasn't picked him up and done a back to back with John Oliver.

Roy Wood Jr. was great for the job and they didn't want him. Shame. But I'm glad that they caved and gave Jon Stewart more money to fix their ignorance.

Is the show itself only airing on Mondays, or is that just the only night that Jon will host?
Also, as excited as I am to get him back, I hope he didn't let himself get bullied out of retirement. He had definitely earned it.
He will host Mondays and Executive Produce. Other correspondents will host T, W, and Th.
I don't think he got bullied out of retirement, I think running the sanctuary full time, while fulfilling, might only meet his needs 80% of the time and he still wants to express himself creatively.
And plus, animal sanctuaries are expensive to run.
He didn't retire, really. His show on Apple+ was canceled a few months ago.
I was actually wondering if he would wind up back at home because of it.
