The Daily Show viewers have gotten used to seeing Jon Stewart host the comedy program once a week on the 2024 TV schedule, usually on Mondays, but sometimes on other nights if there are special circumstances.
Ironically, it ended up benefitting Jon Stewart since things falling through with Hasan Minhaj paved the way for him to return to his old Daily Show stomping grounds on a part-time basis.
Meanwhile, The Daily Show continues to air Monday-Thursday at 11 pm ET on Comedy Central, with episodes becoming available to stream afterwards with a Paramount+ subscription.
In case you’re unfamiliar, a month it was reported that Comedy Central was courting Hasan Minhaj to be Trevor Noah’s successor on The Daily Show (and we later learned that the deal was “all but done by late summer”), a New Yorker article was published claiming that Minhaj had either embellished or simply made up stories for his standup act.
