Selome Hailu Jon Stewart‘s return to “The Daily Show” on Monday brought in 1.9 million viewers, marking the show’s biggest audience in more than five years.
Of those 1.9 million viewers, 930,000 tuned in via Comedy Central, while the rest were counted across simulcasts on CMT, Logo, MTV, MTV2, Paramount Network, Pop and TV Land.
These figures come from Live + Same Day as reported by Nielsen. It’s unsurprising that the episode would perform so well. “The Daily Show” has lacked any consistent presence since Trevor Noah exited as host at the end of 2022, and Stewart’s return to the post — which he left nearly a decade ago — adds a trusted voice back to the landscape of political commentary in a key election year, even if he’ll only be back at the desk on Mondays.
