Jon Stewart
Comedy Central is right back where they started but not before they could waste Roy Wood Jr.'s time.
The Comedy Central program welcomed Stewart back with a fitting gag on X, formerly Twitter.
After months of searching for a new host, the show will bring back Stewart as Monday night host and executive producer through the 2024 election cycle.
"The Problem With Jon Stewart," which premiered six years after Stewart's "Daily Show" departure, was reportedly set to start taping new episodes in a matter of weeks.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The comedian said the date was nearly a total disaster but two things turned it around.
There really is a two-tiered justice system, Stewart argued, and Trump is "in the tier where you get the platinum arraignment package."
"We are fair and good and will do this however you would like... just come back," wrote the former "Daily Show" host as he mocked CNN on Saturday.
The comedian revealed that he was "extremely flattered" to get a request to host as Jon Stewart exited the show in 2015.
The former host showed up while Roy Wood Jr. was guest-hosting.
"The right wants strict rules for everything" except guns, the comedian said in a clip that resurfaced after the Covenant School shooting.
