After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

    Yeah. Some adjusted format talk shows have survived. I’m just saying. Been a fan, but I think the late night format, while modified, I still wouldn’t by stock in it.

      Talk shows are more popular than ever now. We just call them “video podcasts,” sometimes include increasingly hotter hot sauces, and watch them in a different places.
