Late last month, we learned that a very familiar face would be returning to host Comedy Central's The Daily Show – well, at least on Mondays. That's right, Jon Stewart is back beginning Monday, February 12th – staying on through at least the 2024 election cycle and also serving as executive producer. Now, we're getting an official promo for Stewart's return, and we have a feeling you will know what popular GIF Stewart is referencing in the clip above. Unfortunately, it looks like it might just be the very same popcorn from nearly a decade ago. And then, check out who Stewart sought out for counseling regarding his return…
Current EP Jen Flanz will remain with the long-running Comedy Central series, with Tuesdays through Thursdays anchored by a number of "Daily Show" correspondents. WME agent James Dixon has also come aboard as an executive producer. "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," shared Chris McCarthy, President/CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, in a statement that was released earlier today. "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." Now, here's a look at Stewart getting some sage advice from a trusted friend:
