Jon Stewart is returning to his roots.
The comedian will host “The Daily Show” on Monday nights beginning Feb. 12 and continuing through the 2024 election cycle, Comedy Central announced Wednesday. Stewart will also executive produce the show through 2025.
Other members of “The Daily Show” news team will host on the remaining nights of the week. Episodes will air on Comedy Central and be available to stream on Paramount+ the next day.
“Jon Stewart is the voice of our generation, and we are honored to have him return to Comedy Central’s ‘The Daily Show’ to help us all make sense of the insanity and division roiling the country as we enter the election season,” said Chris McCarthy, president and chief executive of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios. “In our age of staggering hypocrisy and performative politics, Jon is the perfect person to puncture the empty rhetoric and provide much-needed clarity with his brilliant wit.”
The news comes more than a year after Stewart’s successor, Trevor Noah, stepped down from his perch at “The Daily Show,” leaving the program without a permanent host, and four months after the abrupt cancellation of “ The Problem With Jon Stewart.”
