Jon Stewart is switching up his schedule in order to cover some breaking news.
Stewart will host tonight’s episode of The Daily Show , airing at 11/10c, Comedy Central has announced. Stewart typically only hosts The Daily Show on Mondays, but he has some fresh headlines to sink his teeth into, after ABC shelved Jimmy Kimmel Live! in response to conservative backlash to host Jimmy Kimmel ‘s comments about the murder of Charlie Kirk.
On Wednesday, ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “ preempted indefinitely ” after Nexstar — which owns 33 ABC affiliates nationwide, including stations in Nashville, New Orleans and other, smaller markets — decided not to broadcast the show in light of Kimmel’s comments, which a Nexstar executive called “offensive and insensitive.”
