•Jon Stewart is returning to The Daily Show with a rotating cast of guest hosts
66% Informative
Jon Stewart will return to host The Daily Show beginning Feb. 12 .
The show had served its purpose, run its course, and been surpassed by the legions of commentators he inspired.
He was the country’s most prominent media critic, but he was also a kind of feeler-in-chief.
The Daily Show ’s most indelible moments were when Stewart broke out of that mode, like the 2010 episode devoted to slamming congressional Republicans who had stonewalled a bill providing support to survivors of 9/11 .
The mantle of national bullshit detector has been waiting for him to take it up, and it might fit more snugly than ever.
