Josh Johnson will anchor the Comedy Central late-night show’s Tuesday through Thursday editions this week, marking his first time in the host’s chair. Jon Stewart will have his usual spot Monday night.

Johnson has been a Daily Show correspondent for about a year and a half, but his time on the show goes back further. He joined the show’s writing staff in 2017 after a stint at NBC’s Tonight Show.
In addition to his work on The Daily Show, Johnson is also a stand-up comedian with two specials to his name: 2021’s #(Hashtag), which premiered on Comedy Central, and 2023’s Up Here Killing Myself for Peacock. He’s also appeared on Netflix’s Comedy Lineup, The Tonight Show and CBS’ Late Show.
He’s also four-time Emmy nominee as part of The Daily Show’s writing staff. This year, the show and two related programs (a Klepper-hosted special and the YouTube series Desi Lydic Foxsplains) are up for a combined 12 Emmys, the most nominations in the show’s history.

This show is still on? Don't think I have watched it since Jon Stewart first round on the show. Must have been at least 10 years since I have seen it.

I haven’t watched it since Stewart either. Strictly interested in the success of a Louisiana native.

Bill Simmons thinks Stewart may legit resign on air tonight after the Colbert firing.
That's the very definition of living in a Hollywood bubble, folks.

He’s been one of the writers coming up with their garbage? Yeah, it’s a No for me.

Edit: I confused him with Jerod Carmichael.

The show is much better with the current host rotation.

Can't speak to the show, but some of his standup bits are really funny.

First on LateNighter: Longtime Daily Show writer-turned-correspondent Josh Johnson made a splash in his hosting debut Tuesday, outdrawing each of the show’s other rotating hosts—and Jon Stewart—among viewers in the coveted 18–49 demo.
Per Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, Johnson’s first night behind the Daily Show desk drew 590,000 total viewers, making it the most-watched non-Stewart-hosted episode of the year by total audience. But the real story was in the demo, where Johnson pulled in 226,000 viewers aged 18–49, surpassing even Stewart’s top-rated episodes in the advertiser-coveted category.
Further, Johnson’s Daily Show outranked each of the late-night shows we track among younger viewers Tuesday night. It’s also the best demo performance for The Daily Show since September 10, 2024, when Stewart anchored a live post-debate episode following the Trump–Harris showdown.
Expect Johnson’s numbers to climb even higher once delayed-viewing data is factored in over the coming days and weeks.

The guy is good. Fantastic stand up presentation. So far on the Daily Show he’s smooth as hell.
