Thank goodness. I hated it when he left the first time. The people after him, before he came back, were…okay, but just not enough of an edge, overall. Sure there might have been a bit more “representation”, but it seemed to be more bothsiderist than not in the outlook. That might be because Trevor just seems to be a really nice guy and more of an outsider on American politics. When they had guests hosts after Trevor and before Jon came back, the quality varied a lot. I kept seeing a push around that time to try to get Leslie Jones into what seemed like everything, and, wow, I just don’t like that style at all. Around that era, I was really worried they’d give the show to her. I was hoping that someone like Sarah Silverman might helm it. But really happy that Jon decided to come back even if only one day a week.

Honestly surprising. I guess David Ellison figured Trump doesn’t watch cable anyway since he never seems to meltdown at Stewart’s shows, and with polls like they are, maybe he’s keeping his “just kidding left, I was on your side all along” options open in case the GOP won’t actually be able to fulfill their promise of a permanent corrupt oligarchy that the Ellisons have been betting on till now.

Since when had he been back at the daily show? Edit: apparently since 2024?!? https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/24/entertainment/jon-stewart-daily-show/index.html
