Jon Stewart to return to The Daily Show through 2024 US election season
theguardian.com

Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, the groundbreaking comedy news program he had previously helmed for 16 years.

The homecoming, announced by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios on Wednesday, comes after the production’s yearlong search for a replacement for host Trevor Noah – and just in time for the 2024 presidential election to heat up in earnest.

The plan is for Stewart to host every Monday, beginning on 12 February. He will also serve as an executive producer for the show, which will have a rotating lineup of comedians during the rest of the week.

He won't change any MAGA assholes' minds, but if we're lucky, he will change some independents' minds.

Or motivate apathetic folks.

This is the real way to win elections. It's a lot harder to change political opinions than it is to simply get people off their asses to vote. ~50% turnout in most elections, and that's true for both parties.

I just need some one to soothe me in these troubled times

Colbert, Meyers and Kimmel have been a big help there. I watch them on YouTube the next morning and all three have been hitting Trump hard.

i love how much kimmel grew up and got good while carolla didn't

I have never liked Carolla and my dislike has borne itself out based on all the awful shit he's said.

Or at least get someones attention before they fall down the maga-pit
