Jon Stewart Renewed at DAILY SHOW Amidst Late Night Chaos

Unlike Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart only hosts The Daily Show one day a week – on Mondays. The rest of the week, a team of correspondents – Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic, Troy Iwata, and Grace Kuhlenschmidt – handle the show.
