Former comedian Jon Stewart has renewed his contract to host the Daily Show through next year.

“Late-night host Jon Stewart has renewed his contract with Paramount and CBS to host Comedy Central’s The Daily Show every Monday through December 2026,” reports UPI. “Monday’s announcement comes four months after the network canceled Stephen Colbert’s show, and ends speculation about Stewart’s future with the network after Paramount’s merger with Skydance.”

Comedy Central head Ari Pearce put it this way, “Jon Stewart continues to elevate the genre he created. His return is an ongoing commitment to the incisive comedy and sharp commentary that define The Daily Show. ”

He added that this “renewal is a win for audiences, for Comedy Central and for all our programming partners.”
