“Jon Stewart returned on Monday night as host of ‘The Daily Show,’ the Comedy Central news satire he turned into a cultural force before leaving in August 2015,” the New York Times reports.
“It was the beginning of a plan, announced in January, that will bring Stewart back to the show on Mondays through the presidential election. He will also serve as an executive producer.”
Said Stewart: “Why am I back? I have committed a lot of crimes. From what I understand, talk show hosts are granted immunity — it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but take it up with the founders.”
His opening segment shows he hasn’t missed a beat.
