Popular Late-Night Talk Show That Donald Trump Hates
Officially Renewed Through 2028
----------------------------------------------------
A popular late-night television show that has frequently drawn
the ire of Donald Trump has announced a major renewal. The show's
beloved host will remain at the helm through 2028.

On Monday, October 19, Skydance Television and Comedy Central
announced that Jon Stewart will continue to host The Daily Show
every Monday through December 2028. The comedian will also remain
an executive producer of the program.

"Jon Stewart is a generational talent, and The Daily Show
continues to be one of the most influential franchises on
television and a cornerstone of Comedy Central," George Cheeks,
co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance TV, said in a
recent statement. "We are excited to continue our partnership
with Jon and his award-winning news team."

How the show's hosting duties are split
Jon Stewart will continue hosting The Daily Show with the program's
stellar news team. It includes Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan
Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, Troy Iwata, and Grace
Kuhlenschmidt. The correspondents will share hosting duties on
Tuesdays through Thursdays.

Meanwhile, Stewart will executive produce alongside showrunner
Jen Flanz and Stewart's longtime manager, James "Baby Doll" Dixon.

Stewart has been a longtime critic of Donald Trump, often slamming
his policies and remarks. In September, the comedian compared the
Trump presidency to the heavily corroded USS Abraham Lincoln.

"This is what we look like as Americans inside after 18 months of
this presidency," the comedian joked, showing a photo of the
run-down ship. Criticizing the Trump administration, Stewart added,
"It's this, the relentless denial of reality that is one of the
elements eating away at the foundational load-bearing structures
that hold this country together."

Earlier this month, Stewart took aim at Trump's announcement that
AI and tech giants will self-police their actions. "How can you
justify letting the tech giants police themselves?" the comedian
fumed.

The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central.
The episodes arrive the next day on Paramount+.
