Jon Stewart and ‘The Daily Show’ will both be back in 2025

His role on the show will continue past the end of the 2024 election.

When it was first announced that Jon Stewart would be returning to The Daily Show, the timing seemed to make sense. 2024 would see a consequential election, and Stewart’s other ventures hd not been as successful as he might have wanted. Now, though, Stewart appears to be making his return to The Daily Show at least a little bit more permanent.

Variety is reporting that Stewart is set to return to the show as a part-time host in 2025, and will also continue to serve as an executive producer on the series. Stewart has been hosting the Monday night episodes of the series, with a variety of news correspondents for the show filling in on other nights of the week.

“I’ve truly enjoyed being back working with the incredible team at ‘The Daily Show’ and Comedy Central. I was really hoping they’d allow me to do every other Monday, but I’ll just have to suck it up…,” Stewart said in a statement.

The obvious time for Stewart to step away from the show would be after the 2024 election, but depending on the outcome, there could be plenty of additional material for him to tackle. It’s unclear whether the show will continue beyond Stewart once he leaves it behind. When he was asked about continuing to host the show at the Emmy Awards in September, he said he’d be open to the idea: “Well, my feeling is this election will never end. So why would I? How could I leave? I won’t be allowed to leave until the election, until we’re all ground to some sort of calcified nubs. … We’re looking forward to it being awful.”

Hacks season 4: Everything we know so far
What can you expect from Hacks season 4?
Jean Smart in Hacks Season 3

Hacks is probably the best show you aren't watching. Through three seasons, this little gem on Max has developed into a powerhouse of emotional resonance, comedy, and female camaraderie. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder star as Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, the former a washed-up stand-up comedian who needs a boost and the latter a Millenial writer who can't get her material to stick. Together, Deborah and Ava form a dynamic duo and start to affect each other's lives in much deeper ways than they ever imagined.

Hacks walked away from this year's Emmy Awards with more than one trophy, and it was very deserving. The chemistry between cast members and creative storytelling is second to none right now in the comedy category. With the third season in the rearview mirror, it's time to think about Hacks season 4! Here is everything we know about the fourth outing so far.
What will Hacks season 4 be about?
Hacks season 4 should pick up right where we left off after a cliffhanger for the ages. Deborah achieved her ultimate success last season when she realized her lifelong goal of becoming a late-night talk show host. Unfortunately for Ava, Deborah believes her program will stand a better chance at renewal with a male head writer. She demotes Ava, a huge stab in the back to her younger comedic partner, who has been endlessly supportive even when it works against her self-interests.

Gaga's acting career started almost a decade ago with roles in multiple series American Horror Story and eventually went on to roles in A Star Is Born, House of Gucci, and most recently, Joker: Folie a Deux.

The cast of Ted Lasso

Anyone who avidly watched Ted Lasso knows that each subsequent season of the series was received less warmly than the previous. By the time season 3 rolled around, all of the show's quirks and good will had fallen largely to the wayside, and people were starting to wonder what had happened to the charming show that they had once loved.

Now, Jason Sudeikis, the star and co-creator of the series, is weighing in on the response to the show's third season. In a new book, Believe: The Untold Story Behind Ted Lasso, the Show That Kicked Its Way Into Our Hearts, TVLine reports that Sudeikis said that those who didn't like the third season "don't have imaginations."
