"Jon Stewart will be sticking around The Daily Show on Comedy Central through 2026, despite speculation his time might be limited after a Trump-friendly corporate owner merged with the network's parent company. In a statement, Comedy Central's head Ari Pearce said Stewart's return is an ongoing commitment to the incisive comedy and sharp commentary that define The Daily Show.' The renewal is a win for audiences, for Comedy Central and for all our programming partners. We're proud to support Jon and the extraordinary news team."
"Stewart said on his show. Or maybe the path of least resistance for your $8 billion merger with killing a show that you know rankled a fragile and vengeful president, so insecure, suffering terribly from a case of chronic penis insufficiency. The merged company, called New Paramount, is headed up by David Ellison, the son of billionaire tech tycoon and Trump ally Larry Ellison."
Jon Stewart will remain host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central through 2026, and Comedy Central leadership frames the renewal as a commitment to incisive comedy and sharp commentary.
