After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

        He’s 11pm est, maybe they live in Hawaii or Alaska. Then John Oliver is prime time, not late night.

          I guess. John Oliver does interview segments, but they’re rare.

          Most of the Daily Show is a current events monologue and a report segment. The interview is the last 7 to 8 min.
