In an era where quitting seems more popular than ever, Jon Stewart has reclaimed his throne as the host of The Daily Show, dusting off his Comedy Central anchor desk and grabbing a pen to scribble erroneously while dishing out his unique blend of razor-sharp wit and unyielding social commentary. After enduring a year of revolving guest hosts, two Hollywood strikes, and an ever-turbulent political atmosphere, no doubt the execs at Comedy Central are breathing a sigh of relief. There hadn't been this much drama behind a late-night show since Ken Jennings took over Jeopardy. What is most mind-boggling, however, is that Stewart's grand return could not have happened if not for the perfect set of circumstances, which we dissect in the podcast along with talking about the kick-off of season 29, the production, our thoughts on the reviews, etc... Tune in and enjoy!
