Comedian-commentator Jon Stewart is staying put in the anchor seat at The Daily Show. In an announcement by Comedy Central and parent company Paramount Global, Stewart’s contract has been extended for another year and now runs until December 2026,

“That’s what he was doing this weekend!” Stewart said. “He wasn’t working for the American people. That was just some ‘Hollywood Babylon’ shit that once and for all shows that Donald Trump doesn’t give fuck about even looking like he gives a fuck. Doesn’t give a fuck at all.”

Jon Stewart will remain at Comdey Central's "The Daily Show" through at least 2026, according to an announcement from Paramount Skydance.

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.

Jon Stewart is sticking around at the Daily Show for at least another year, according to Comedy Central. The network announced Monday that Stewart's contract has been extended through 2026, ensuring his continued presence as host one night a week,
