    Jon Stewart Returns to ‘Daily Show’ Tonight For First Time Since Trump Shooting

    Jon Stewart is coming back to The Daily Show earlier than planned.

    Stewart will return to the news desk tonight — Tuesday — rather than returning Thursday as previously announced.

    After the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Saturday, Comedy Central canceled its previously scheduled Monday show from Milwaukee where the Republican National Convention is taking place. “Our apologies for the inconvenience, but due to logistical issues and the evolving situation in Milwaukee, we need to reschedule our events on the ground in Wisconsin and will look to make those up in the coming weeks,” the network said.

    The Daily Show will also air on Wednesday hosted by the News Team. In addition, Thursday’s show will be live following the closing night of the RNC, where Trump is expected to make his speech accepting his party’s nomination for president. That show will be hosted by the News Team instead of the previously announced Stewart.

    The guest lineup will include former Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly on Tuesday and podcast host and author Scott Galloway on Wednesday.

    The Daily Show had been set for on-the-ground coverage during the entire convention, and was going to film its daily installments at the Marcus Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee with Jon Stewart and the news team sharing hosting duties.

    The Daily Show airs at 11 p.m. on Comedy Central, with episodes available the next day on Paramount+.
