Comedy Central

The media is in full celebration mode following Jon Stewart’s return to “The Daily Show."

The casts of the Thursday editions of CBS Mornings and ABC’s Good Morning America could hardly contain their excitement that Jon Stewart will be returning to host Comedy Central’s The Daily Show every Monday for the rest of the year beginning February 12. CBS was admittedly “Gaga” while ABC hailed him a “trusted left-of-center conscience” for his “devoted fans.”

As Comedy Central continues its search for a full-time host of The Daily Show, the network announced on Wednesday that former host Jon Stewart will return to host the program on Mondays, starting on February 12, through the end of the year and executive produce the show through 2025.

Throughout all of 2023, the late night comedians told a total of 9,518 political jokes, and of these 7,729 or 81 percent were directed at someone or something on the right side of the political spectrum, an MRC study has found.

It was a year of change for late night comedy. The Late Late show was cancelled by CBS after 5,300 episodes since 1995 after James Corden decided to return to England, Comedy Central’s The Daily Show used a series of temp hosts after Trevor Noah walked away at the end of 2022, CBS host of The Late Show Stephen Colbert finally stopped giving Donald Trump the He Who…

Comedians wouldn't cast a shadow on a single page of the Koran, but it's always fair game to mock the marriage of Mary and Joseph, and joke that Joseph was gay. Christians and their New Testament stories are irresistible grist for mockery. But mock Hillary Clinton, and there's hell to pay on the Jimmy Kimmel set. 

Fox News’s Jesse Watters did not appreciate that Target is selling a LGBTQ-flag waving nutcracker, so The Daily Show sent correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt out on the streets to interview ordinary people in an attempt to show Watters was out of touch. However, she took the segment from the realm of the troll to the realm of the cringe and even the disrespectful as she declared…

Charlamagne tha God is currently in round two of temp hosting Comedy Central’s The Daily Show and while he has had his moments of partisan even-handedness, he was experiencing the holiday blues on Wednesday as he implored President Biden to “give America the ultimate Christmas gift and step aside” so that Democrats may have a better chance of defeating Donald Trump.

Comedy Central’s tempt host of The Daily Show, Michelle Wolf welcomed correspondents Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta for a “debate” on who is “America’s greatest war criminal” after the death of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. As Chieng and Kosta fake fought over Kissinger and former Vice President Dick Cheney, Wolf offered up President Andrew Jackson.

On Wednesday’s edition of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, temp host Michelle Wolf baselessly claimed that there is censorship of “Palestinian voices” and those critical of Israel. Maybe she just meant the non-platforming of the unintelligent as she also asked MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan why Israel is bombing Gaza if Hamas’s leaders are in Qatar.

I’m old enough to remember when comedy, especially late-night comedy, used to be funny and mostly devoid of the screeching leftwing neopuritanism we endure today. John Leguizamo’s recent opinion segment on The Daily Show, with its attendant rant on the kerfuffle surrounding Televisa’s interview of former President Donald Trump, was an even more painful reminder of when comedy used to be funny…

HBO’s Last Week Tonight host John Oliver traveled over to his old stomping grounds at Comedy Central and The Daily Show on Tuesday where he and temp host Ronny Chieng discussed what it is like to be an immigrant in America who tells jokes about America. Using the specific issue of guns, Oliver tried to argue that he can “talk shit” about America as a way of “expressing love…

Leslie Jones kicked off her second stint as temp host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show on Monday by attacking Sen. Tim Scott as a “Milk Dud-looking mother[bleep]” as he ended his presidential campaign.

During a Wednesday segment that couldn’t decide whether it was satire or just a diatribe against pro-lifers, temp host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Sarah Silverman and correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt offered up some advice after Tuesday’s election for those devoted to the pro-life cause: become pro-abortion.
