The former host of the late-night satirical news show, who left in 2015 and was replaced by Trevor Noah, will temporarily return this year in the runup to the presidential election. Noah announced he was leaving the show in 2022.
Stewart returns to the show Monday as a weekly guest host, while a rotating lineup of the show's correspondents are slated to share hosting duties the following days. In addition to host, Stewart is also a writer, producer, director, political commentator and actor. He will now add the title of executive producer for the Emmy-winning show.

How long will Jon Stewart be on 'The Daily Show'?
The 61-year-old comedian is returning to host the show every Monday beginning Feb. 12 through the 2024 presidential election cycle.
Comedy Central confirmed Stewart's first guest Monday night will be Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist.
When did Jon Stewart leave 'The Daily Show'?
Stewart took over as host of "The Daily Show" in 1999, succeeding Craig Kilborn, the show's first host.
Stewart quit the show in the fall of 2015, less than two months after Trump announced his 2016 presidential campaign.
After leaving in 2015, he hosted the Apple TV+ show "The Problem with Jon Stewart." It was cancelled after just two seasons.
Why is Jon Stewart returning to 'The Daily Show'?
Speaking on “The Daily Show: Ears Edition” podcast, Stewart shared some insight on what motivated him to return to the show, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
"It's not just about the election," Stewart said. "If you want to be present in this world, you have to be present in this conversation."
Stewart said he feels a need to be "relentless and tenacious" in speaking out against the "weaponization" of information.
“It’s not just the election. It’s AI. It’s the way that we’ve militarized all our conflicts," he said.
Stewart's return to "The Daily Show" comes on the heels of Noah leaving the show more than seven years after accepting the job. Noah, 39, announced his departure during a taping of the show in September 2022. Since his departure, guest hosts have included comedians Leslie Jones, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler.
