A community for entertainment industry news and general discussion about movies and TV shows.
Rules:
I’m honestly surprised by this, but I love me some Jon Stewart. He’s a uniquely talented voice that has been noticeably missing from the discourse the last few years. I didn’t think we’d ever get him back in this capacity.
Maybe this causes some introspection at Apple? Nah never mind, they only care about their trillions.
I literally remember the moment he announced his retirement. I was in Montreal getting a crepe and watched it on the shops tv while I waited. It felt like such a loss the moment stuck with me.
Glad he’s back. Glad to have his intelligent and kind take back in our current discourse.
His new catchphrase “How you like thems Apple?!?!”
Did he have a falling out with Apple?
Tuesdays through Fridays will be hosted by Mayim Bialik.
This is because of Trump presumably.
He was on the sidelines for the last one and I'm sure that was tough. He's not gonna let Trump off the hook this time.
Thank God he's back.
Is there any way to stream TDS? There's no way in hell I'm getting cable for 1 show

Not sure how that works but I can access it in Poland just like that.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Just months after Jon Stewart’s sudden departure from Apple TV Plus, the comedian is set to make his return to The Daily Show on Comedy Central.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Daily Show’s yearlong search for a new host following Trevor Noah’s departure in 2022 has culminated in Stewart’s return this February.
In a statement about the news, Showtime / MTV Entertainment Studios president Chris McCarthy described Stewart as “the voice of our generation,” whose political perspectives are going to be invaluable as we get deeper into the 2024 presidential election cycle.
“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,” McCarthy said.
In the year during Comedy Central’s search for someone to replace Noah, multiple guest hosts sat in for brief stints at The Daily Show desk, and a somewhat similar structure’s going to remain in place going forward.
Even if The Daily Show hadn’t been building up hype about who the new host might be, bringing Stewart back is the kind of move that’s likely going to be a ratings boon.

What happened to Noah?
He left like a year ago, it's been a rotating cast of hosts since then.
Why?
I don't have any unique insight that would add anything to what's already been said about this. Trevor Noah said he wanted to go back to his hobbies and I don't really think he was let go given how the show fell of the cliff after his departure.
