Jon Stewart and The Daily Show are staying put at Comedy Central.
Stewart has signed a new multi-year deal to remain at The Daily Show through December 2028, Skydance Television announced Monday. The deal will carry Stewart—and The Daily Show—through the 2028 election and the show’s 33rd season.

It marks Stewart’s first multi-year renewal since returning to The Daily Show in 2024.

The show’s current format will remain intact, with Stewart hosting Mondays and members of The Daily Show‘s news team sharing hosting duties Tuesday through Thursday. Correspondent-hosts Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, and Desi Lydic, are all expected to return alongside Stewart.

Stewart will also remain an executive producer alongside showrunner Jen Flanz and his longtime manager, James “Baby Doll” Dixon.

“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,” Skydance TV co-chair and chief content officer George Cheeks said in announcing the deal. “We are excited to continue our partnership with Jon and his award winning news team.”

The long-term renewal puts to rest months of speculation surrounding Stewart’s future at the cable channel amid parent company Paramount’s new ownership under David Ellison’s Skydance.
