Jon Stewart's The Daily Show was recently announced for renewal in 2026, and it couldn't come at a better time, considering the current landscape.

Maybe Trump isn’t an all-powerful king, the kind who can do whatever he wants. But he’s undeniably king-adjacent, king-esque, moving for more,” the host noted

Paramount announced the new Monday, extending Stewart's contract through December 2026. Stewart will continue to host Comedy Central's satirical late-night show on Mondays and serve as an executive producer. No further details about the deal were made public.

Americans continued to rely on Fox News for information and analysis through October, and FNC continues to lead all broadcast networks among weekday primetime viewers in 2025.

Stewart, who returned to “The Daily Show” last year to host the Monday night edition, came to an agreement with management this past weekend.
