Jon Stewart Will Dish It Out Daily Through 2010

Comedy Central’s most valuable gem, “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” has the most uncanny knack for satire on everything today’s news can dish out, but before Jon Stewart, the show was barely a blip on the radar. (I dare you to recall any significant, memorable episodes when Craig Kilborn hosted; many of you are probably wondering who that even is, if you’re not asking when he ever hosted “The Daily Show.”)

Jon Stewart got us through “Indecision 2004” just like he and the rest of the team got us through the Presidential election in 2000, which is just one reason his contract with the network to do “The Daily Show” through the next election is a great Gen X-style comfort, ensuring that right up to the end of 2008 he will be there to spread wry and witty political and social commentary like so much contagious laughter iced with mind-numbing disbelief.

But if you’re wondering who will mock the next President Elect of the United States after he is elected, never fear! Jon Stewart will still be here! Comedy Central has extended his contract to 2010, according to a report by ComingSoon.net, which quoted Stewart on the good news.

“I love doing this show,” Stewart stated. “I feel like I work with and for the best in the business. I look forward to using this extension to having great fun at President (Stephen) Colbert's expense.”

We’re looking forward to it right there with you! Back to you, Jon.
