Jon Stewart will return to 'The Daily Show' as its Monday host and executive producer. Show correspondents will host other nights of the week

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.

    The only people that have actually been canceled by ‘cancel culture’ are sex offenders like Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey. Before that people like Harvey Weinstein was canceling women for not giving him blowjobs.

    Yeah, anyone who tries to milk the myth of cancel culture for publicity is a piece of shit.

      I would just like to add that I think the right more aggressively pursues the parody of “cancel culture” that they claim exists on the left. They canceled the Dixie Chicks who were nearing the height of their career and said something bad about Bush and the war in Iraq and were put out to pasture. Same thing with Sinead O’Connor and her ripping up a picture of the pope…there are dozens of examples…dozens! arrested_development_dozens.gif

      It’s the same thing they do about most things: they’ll claim the left is using “identity politics” while running on “keep black people out of the suburbs” and “keep gay people out of wedlock” as a platform.

        You can boil it down to “they don’t LIVE in good faith.”

        Everything is performative and a means to and end. They don’t have values other than power over others.
