Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” is on hiatus, but not for too long.
The Emmy and Peabody award-winning late night comedy series is taking an extended break until September during its 30th season.
The break comes after Jon Stewart, who propelled to fame during his first stint as host, returned as a one-day-a-week anchor in 2024. Trevor Noah (Stewart’s first replacement) bridged most of the gap in hosting duties before leaving the desk in 2022. In addition to Stewart, episodes are hosted by comedians Ronny Chieng, Josh Johnson, Jordan Klepper, Desi Lydic and Michael Kosta.
Lydic announced the break at the end of the latest episode in July.
“We’re going on a production break for August, which was planned months and months ago. So don’t freak out,” said Lydic, alluding to the abrupt cancellation of fellow late night host Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” on CBS.
“Have a great summer and we’ll see you in September when we can all freak out together,” Lydic said.
