Jon Stewart may consider quitting The Daily Show on-air following CBS's cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a decision attributed to financial reasons. CBS planned to air Colbert's final episode in May 2026. This cancellation comes after Paramount's $16 million settlement with Donald Trump relating to a 60 Minutes interview. Stewart's future on The Daily Show is uncertain amidst these developments. Bill Simmons and Matthew Belloni discussed the implications of Stewart's position and the significance of his response.
John Stewart is already rich and he's already done a million, cajillion things; and he could give two shits, right? For him, it's about his reputation.
This is, in my opinion, one of the most important shows he's ever done. There's no way he's not going to talk about it.
The question is does he quit on the air? I think it's in play.
I think it's actually a must-watch show. It comes on at 8 o'clock here. Like I'm definitely watching that live! Hundred percent!
