Beloved former host Jon Stewart is now extending his time on the The Daily Show through December 2025, so the late-night show can lead coverage past the 2024 election season.
That’s not to say he’ll be flying solo like last time — Stewart will host The Daily Show‘s Monday night broadcasts, with a roster of rotating correspondents from Tuesday to Thursday. It’s been a bit of a bumpy road to get to this point though, with the series spending 2023 relying on a revolving door of special guests, including Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, Chelsea Handler, and Leslie Jones, until Comedy Central could decide on a permanent host.
After comedian and former Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj was booted from being the frontrunner to host after a controversial New Yorker article, and Roy Wood Jr. pleading at the Emmys to “please hire a host”, The Daily Show has still opted not to bring in a full-time host. But in his brief time back in the host seat, Stewart has already scored an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series.
With Stewart now back in the late-night hot seat, you may be wondering how to stream The Daily Show without cable. Luckily, we’ve found the best ways to watch new episodes of The Daily Show online — here’s how.

Stewart will continue as the The Daily Show on Monday nights at 11:00 p.m. ET. While he initially only planned to stay through the 2024 election, Stewart will now be returning as a part-time series host through December 2025.
