Comedian and late-night host Jon Stewart revealed Monday that his decision to return as a weekly host of The Daily Show stemmed from his need to “unload” his thoughts on the 2024 election season.

Stewart, who hosted the Comedy Central show for 16 years from 1999 through 2015, is returning as a Monday night host and will serve as an executive producer of the show. It comes after his show on Apple TV+, The Problem with Jon Stewart, was canceled last year after two seasons.
