Jon Stewart will miss his weekly Daily Show appearance after catching COVID-19.
After an eight-year hiatus, Stewart, 61, returned to The Daily Show in February. He is now the program’s Monday host and full-time executive producer. Advertisement
Correspondent Michael Kosta will host the program until Stewart’s Aug. 12 return, interviewing the likes of Roxane Gay, Ed Helms and Hannah Berner.
Stewart’s return has spiked the show’s ratings, and his first episode on the air drew in more than 3 million viewers.
This news comes as summer COVID cases have risen in recent months.
“Tune in tonight through Thursday for more Kosta at the desk,” Kosta captioned an Instagram post on Monday night, shortly after Stewart’s absence was announced.
