With Jon Stewart in Los Angeles this weekend for the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, The Daily Show is switching things up next week.
Instead of hosting the show Monday evening, as he has since returning to the show in February, Stewart will host on Thursday instead.
Jordan Klepper will be at the desk in place Stewart Monday night and will host through Wednesday.
Stewart is set to play L.A.’s Greek Theatre Friday night for a night of standup under the stars that’s being billed as “Jon Stewart and Friends.”
He’s also on the guest list for John Mulaney’s “Everybody’s in L.A.” miniseries, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up sitting down with another semi-retired Late Nighter as a series of comedy legends are expected to participate in a show Netflix is calling “Gods of Comedy With David Letterman.”
It may end up feeling quite a bit like home for Stewart out in Los Angeles as quite a few of his Daily Show colleagues past and present are also performing at the festival, including Demtri Martin, Dulce Sloan, Hasan Minhaj, Leslie Jones, Ronny Chieng, Roy Wood Jr, and Trevor Noah.
Stewart and Klepper’s Daily Show guests next week will be announced Monday.
