Jon Stewart usually only hosts “The Daily Show” on Mondays, with guest hosts filling in the rest of the week. But on Thursday night, Stewart made a special appearance.
“From Comedy Central, it’s the all-new, government-approved ‘Daily Show’ with your patriotically obedient host, Jon Stewart!” the announcer said at the top of the show. Stewart appeared at his desk, with the background of the studio transformed into a gilded gold space.
