The Jon Stewart Revival
Seven weeks into Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart-and-correspondents Daily Show hosting arrangement, his audience has stuck around. Ratings have cooled some in April, but both Stewart’s Monday shows and the news team-led installments later in the week have consistently stayed well above both the show’s guest host era of 2023 and the final weeks of Trevor Noah’s tenure in 2022. Since Stewart’s return, The Daily Show has averaged about 546,000 viewers per episode. That’s a 62 percent increase over the 336,000 viewers the show averaged for the 22 weeks (plus one day) it aired original episodes last year.

Netflix (8.1 percent of TV use) and Hulu (3 percent) also grew month to month. Streaming remained the biggest platform for TV users, gathering 38.5 percent of viewing for March — up from 37.7 percent a month earlier. Read more.
