Jon Stewart isn’t ready to leave “The Daily Show” — at least, not yet.

Speaking with New Yorker editor David Remnick at the New Yorker Festival on Sunday, Stewart said he’s “working on staying” at Comedy Central once his contract expires in December.

The comedian, who returned to host Monday nights in early 2024 after nearly a decade away, acknowledged recent tensions with the network’s new corporate overseers. Comedy Central now falls under the newly formed Paramount Skydance Corporation, the result of a merger between Paramount Global and Skydance Media. “They’ve already done things that I’m upset about,” Stewart said. “But then if I had integrity, maybe I would stand up and go, ‘I’m out.’ Or maybe the integrity thing to do would be to stay in it and keep fighting in the foxhole.”
