Stewart is hoping his former Daily Show correspondent, and current movie star Steve Carell will play the lead role.
He had taken time off from his job hosting The Daily Show to direct the film, before retiring from the long-running news parody show the following year.
The former host of The Daily Show Jon Stewart is looking to return to his role as a director for Irresistible, a political satire based on an original idea, according to Deadline.
It’s been reported that financiers and distributors are currently circling the Plan B-produced production.
