After leaving the show almost a decade ago, comedian Jon Stewart is returning to host “The Daily Show” on Mondays throughout the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle.

The news was shared on Wednesday in a statement from Comedy Central. The network said that Stewart, who has a new show on Apple TV+, will be returning in a limited capacity.

Starting on Feb. 12, Stewart will serve as the host for the satirical news program on Monday nights, with a rotating lineup of performers who will host the remainder of the shows.

Stewart is also planning on serving as an executive producer upon his return.

The vacancy at “The Daily Show” was left by Stewart’s successor, Trevor Noah, who decided to step away after a seven-year stint as the host.
