Uh...why would that be a surprise? Doesn't he usually host The Daily Show?

No, only on Mondays. He hasn't broken from that since the start, this is obviously important enough he doesn't think he can wait until the next Monday

There was no episode on Monday due to the Emmys. Usually that would mean he doesn't do an episode for the week though.

Oh I was wondering why John’s segments didn’t appear on YouTube this week. I assumed he was skipping this Monday for some reason.

Um actually he also hosted on Thursday the week of May 6th 2024, https://www.thewrap.com/jon-stewart-host-the-daily-show-friday

However I completely agree he's taking over tonight to address the Kimmel situation.

Didn't know that, but I have a sinking feeling about this time

I bet he ends up walking a very fine line given who owns Comedy Central and looking out for the welfare of the Daily Show staff. I really thought it would take longer than 9 months for fascism to take root.

Well you were right in a way...

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I dunno, kimmel was walking a fine line and look what happened to him.
