Jon Stewart has extended his 'Daily Show' contract for another year amid the mounting criticism toward Paramount following its settlement with Donald Trump and Colbert's own cancellation.

The Daily Show is airing a special episode tonight with Jon Stewart taking over hosting duties outside of his regular schedule. Many believe Stewart will deliver a scathing rebuke of ABC’s decision to dismiss late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel this week.

Jon Stewart is tagging back in to host Thursday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Comedy Central has announced. Stewart normally just hosts Monday episodes of the talk show, with a rotating list of the show’s correspondents on Tuesday through Thursday.
