Meh

Comedy Central has announced that Jon Stewart will be returning to host The Daily Show on Mondays.

I am not particularly impressed.

First, it is clearly temporary, and at one day a week, it will not mean much.

Second, there is a legion of Daily Show alums who could host.  (I favor Roy Wood, Jr., and dream of Larry Wilmore)

Third, and most importantly, Jon Stewart is too meta.

He comes from the, "View from nowhere," where there is sort a, "Pox on both of your houses," attitude, and that time is long past.

Jon Stewart is returning to “The Daily Show.” The comedian who transformed Comedy Central’s satirical news show into a serious force in politics will now serve as a part-time host and full-time producer through this year’s presidential election cycle.

Starting Feb. 12, Stewart will host “The Daily Show” each Monday night while also steering the series as an executive producer, Comedy Central announced Wednesday. Stewart’s return comes as “The Daily Show” gears up to cover a fraught rematch looming between Joe Biden and Donald  Trump. The show’s cast of correspondents will take turns hosting on other nights.
