Host Trevor Noah comes back to "The Daily Show" table a day after his medical surgery while the show's former presenter Jon Stewart finds a new platform with HBO.
Trevor Noah is back on track and it seems like an appendectomy is not enough to stop him from throwing hilarious political quips. The new "Daily Show" host had to skip his Wednesday routine in favor of the said operation that will lessen any complications concerning his health.
Now that he's back, the host is still all smiles and continued with the episode like nothing happened. Based on his Twitter feed, the host said that he's still having a hard time moving, literally.
"Thank you for your love and support. The Daily Show is back on today but I can't stand up. Tune in 11pm Comedy Central," Noah tweets.
Despite that, Noah and "The Daily Show" crew know that the show must go on. The show's recent tweet even made reference to Noah's condition in a pun-filled tweet to promote the show.
"TONIGHT! The premiere of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah without Trevor Noah's Appendix," reads the show's post on Twitter.
While all seems well for the new phase of "The Daily Show", it also seems like its former host of 15 years Jon Stewart found a niche that where he can start all over again. Stewart reportedly has signed a deal with four-year contract with HBO wherein the host will be focusing on producing online content.
"The deal will kickstart the next phase of Stewart's career, beginning with short-form digital content on HBO Now and HBO Go and including a first-look option for other film and TV projects in the future," ET Online said in a report.
Stewart's shift to a new network and programming format has been deemed to be a very good move on the host's and network's part. According to Time, the deal is a win-win situation knowing that Stewart wants to venture with other forms of content after hosting "The Daily Show" for 16 years and HBO actively exploring alternative broadcasting strategies after streaming gained prominence.
"But he can move away from the issues he doesn't care about now, and on a more forgiving schedule: Stewart's decision to pursue his interests in a manner less strictly-defined than 30 minutes each weeknight and potentially less tied to the news cycle may be the shot in the arm he needs," they add.
With Noah and Stewart finding success in their ventures, it seems like everything's shaping up just right for everyone. Catch more of "The Daily Show", weeknights at 11 p.m. on Comedy Central.
