Josh Johnson is set to host The Daily Show for the second time in a month, Tuesday through Thursday of this week—picking up where the show’s regular Monday night host, Jon Stewart, leaves off tonight.
Johnson, who joined The Daily Show writing staff in 2017 and became an on-air correspondent in 2024, has been steadily building momentum. In addition to his sold-out national stand-up tour, he’s cultivated a digital following of more than 4 million fans. His weekly Tuesday night YouTube sets—smart, winding comedic narratives stitched from news headlines—regularly rack up millions of views and have become required viewing for fans of sharp, story-driven satire.
Johnson’s guest lineup this week opens with a homecoming for another former Daily Show correspondent. On Tuesday, Johnson welcomes Rob Riggle, the actor and comedian who served as a correspondent on The Daily Show from 2006 to 2008 and is now promoting his new memoir Grit, Spit, and Never Quit. Wednesday’s show features Jay Jurden, the comedian and writer debuting his Hulu special Yes Ma’am. The week wraps Thursday with a visit from Miguel, the Grammy-winning artist behind the new album CAOS.
Meanwhile, Jon Stewart kicks off the week tonight—Monday, November 10—with Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-PA) and Rep. Pat Ryan (D-NY), co-chairs of the Democratic Veterans Caucus. (snip)
