After scuttling a months-long search for a new host, the Paramount Global network said it had enlisted Jon Stewart, who presided over the late-night mainstay’s most popular era, to serve as its host on Monday nights throughout the 2024 election cycle and to run the program. He is expected to oversee the program through 2025. Various “Daily Show” correspondents will host the program Tuesday through Thursday nights, and Jen Flanz, the current executive producer, will continue her duties on the show.

    I don’t know how much it costs where you are, but as an annual fee Apple TV has been great value. Some of the best shows I’ve watched in recent times. Not a fan of them effectively letting John go cause of Chinese concerns though, so may not renew.

      I’ve watched a few of the Apple TV shows and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve watched but if I’m subscribed to a service I’m looking for about one new show per month and they are just not keeping pace with that.

      I would subscribe and ditch more frequently but Apple TV also doesn’t support Chromecast, which every other service does and is 99% of the way I watch these shows.

        That is a point, as we’re reasonably new to the service we had/have a backlog to get through, so it feels like a lot of content… but if I’d been a long term subscriber it quite probably doesn’t add up. We’re just finishing Slow Horses and it should tie in nicely for the start of Masters of Air if we squeeze a couple episodes in tonight and tomorrow.
