Jon Stewart Returns to ‘Daily Show’ as Monday Host, Executive Producer
variety.com

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.

I mean, Jon Stewart is pretty left if you consider the majority of Democrats to be Neoliberals. Jon lambasted everyone, and that's fine, bit then he lambasted companies and "centrist" talking points, and THAT was too far for some.

His show was wildly popular, seems unlikely he was too far anywhere.
