Daily Show Hiatus: When Will Jon Stewart & Co. Return to Comedy Central?

Fans of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" may be wondering about the show's current absence. The Emmy and Peabody award-winning late-night comedy series is currently on a planned hiatus, taking an extended break during its 30th season. But don't worry, the break isn't permanent!

Why the Break?

The show, which gained immense popularity under Jon Stewart's initial tenure, has seen a rotating cast of hosts since Trevor Noah's departure in 2022. Stewart himself returned in 2024 as a one-day-a-week anchor. Comedians like Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic, and Michael Kosta have also taken turns hosting. Desi Lydic addressed the break at the end of a July episode, assuring viewers that the hiatus was pre-planned and not a cause for alarm.

When Does 'The Daily Show' Return?

Mark your calendars! "The Daily Show" is scheduled to return to Comedy Central in September 2025. Show representative Parker Moreno confirmed that this break was planned well in advance.

Josh Johnson Joins the Rotating Host Lineup

Adding to the excitement, comedian and writer Josh Johnson has officially joined the rotating host lineup. His debut has already garnered praise from critics, signaling a promising future for the show.

Planned Break, No Need to Panic

To further ease any concerns, Comedy Central has been actively promoting the show's planned hiatus and its return in September. This isn't the first time "The Daily Show" has taken an extended break. Similar breaks occurred in 2021 (under Trevor Noah) and in 2015 (between Jon Stewart's first run and Trevor Noah's debut).

So, while "The Daily Show" is temporarily off the air, fans can rest assured that it will be back in September 2025 with Jon Stewart and the team!
