The men who own Paramount want to please Donald Trump. They also want to please audiences. Discuss.

Late-night host Jon Stewart has renewed his contract with Paramount and CBS to host Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" every Monday through 2026.

Stewart has closed another one-year deal to remain as one of the hosts and exec producers of The Daily Show through the end of next year.

The owner of CBS and Comedy Central confirmed that it re-upped the longtime Daily Show host's contract through next year, months after CBS announced the cancellation of Late Night.

The satirist's deal extension comes during a period of intense upheaval for Comedy Central's parent company, Paramount, and the late-night comedy genre.

The comedian's contract for the show will end in December and he recently made comments about his future on 'The Daily Show.'

Stewart, who built 'The Daily Show' into a cultural juggernaut, has hosted the Monday night installment since February 2024.

Jon Stewart's time at “The Daily Show” may or may not be ending soon as things between him and the cable channel are on shaky grounds.
