Jon’s back early?[edit]

The article says that «it was announced that Jon Stewart would return as host for Monday night shows, »(…)« beginning on February 12». Yet today’s still the 7th and there he is. What am I missing? Tuvalkin (talk) 03:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"critics" and missing citations...[edit]

The article is protected, so I can't directly edit, but this section of the article's intro is problematic:

"Critics chastised Stewart for not conducting sufficiently hard-hitting interviews with his political guests, some of whom he may have lampooned in previous segments. Stewart and other Daily Show writers responded to such criticism by saying that they do not have any journalistic responsibility and that as comedians, their only duty is to provide entertainment."

It's unclear [who?] exactly these "critics" are, and how widespread this criticism was. There is a citation at the end of the paragraph, but the linked CNN article doesn't specifically mention the criticisms alluded to here. -2003:CA:8717:D2FF:9369:1DF8:C9AE:692 (talk) 13:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo[edit]

Stewart accepted the single day a week contract deal as his initial run left him feel exhausted.

Should be "feeling" instead of "feel". Cdellert (talk) 01:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 March 2024[edit]

Under Guest Hosts it says Colbert hosted 11 times, but he actually hosted 14 times. It doesn't list the 3 times he hosted in March 2002. 184.144.62.38 (talk) 05:16, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
