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.

Stewart is great, but I wonder if any of the original writing staff is returning as well. He didn't carry the original show alone, and even the opening monologue will hit different if there's a new team behind it.

I assume he'll bring some Apple TV folks along.

But also the show has been solid for years. Trevor did a great job, the guest hosts have done an great job. The show is and has been great.

Now, that isn't to say you don't need a good host. The guest hosts only having a week or so don't have time to make the show truly their own, but they still add their personal touch.

Trevor, during the pandemic especially, added a huge personal touch and really made the show work well.

Jon, coming back, is going to have a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to it.

I'm also curious as to whether he'll bring back any old writing staff, not least because one of the hosts of my favorite podcast was head writer on the show when Jon left. If I had to guess, though, he'll probably recognize the need to have younger writers at the forefront.
