Jon Stewart remade The Daily Show into essential viewing for a generation of Americans navigating the news, mixing satire with pointed media criticism during his 1999–2015 tenure and winning 24 Primetime Emmy Awards along the way. He co-organized the 2010 Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear with Stephen Colbert, and later hosted The Problem with Jon Stewart on Apple TV+. He returned to host The Daily Show part-time starting in 2024.
