Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show, the groundbreaking comedy news program he had previously helmed for 16 years.

The homecoming, announced by Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios on Wednesday, comes after the production’s yearlong search for a replacement for host Trevor Noah – and just in time for the 2024 presidential election to heat up in earnest.

The plan is for Stewart to host every Monday, beginning on 12 February. He will also serve as an executive producer for the show, which will have a rotating lineup of comedians during the rest of the week.

    Calling a typo a “grammatical abomination” is certainly one way to show everyone that you’re a very smart and special individual. I personally think everyone should take you super duper seriously.

      You’re defending on a claim of intent, when all we have is observation and trending to go on.

      How are we supposed to live up to the omniscient standard you set for us?

      Can people not just proof-read their shit as if they were grown-ass adults with two brain cells to rub together? What explains the absolute inability to go back and correct mistakes, and should we magically know it’s not just apathy and disrespect?

        Your brain just kind of edits those mistakes out even if you do proofread. I’m sure you’ve seen examples like this before:

        Being super harsh about it is really odd.

          He’s not being super harsh, he’s begging for validation. He actually believes those pointless sentences convey his obvious intelligence.

          I wish I was joking.
