That\u2019s a wrap for The Daily Show<\/a> this summer. The long-running Comedy Central series is taking an extended break until Monday, September 8, 2025.<\/p>\n Though the timing is sure to raise eyebrows amid speculation that Jon Stewart<\/a> and his team might be next on the late-night chopping block at New Paramount\u2014following the cancellations of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert<\/a> and After Midnight with Taylor Tomlinson<\/a> at CBS\u2014sources at the show tell LateNighter that this five-week hiatus has been planned for months and has nothing to do with the current drama at the company.<\/p>\n Desi Lydic said as much when she announced the break at the end of last Thursday\u2019s episode, saying \u201cJust to let you guys know, we\u2019re going on a production break for August, which was planned months and months ago. So don\u2019t freak out. Have a great summer and we\u2019ll see you in September when we can all freak out together.\u201d<\/p>\n Keeping with the theme, Comedy Central has been running commercials promoting the show\u2019s planned hiatus, and\u2014more crucially\u2014its return in September:<\/p>\n Comedy Central is going out of its way to let viewers know that ‘The Daily Show’ is going on a five week production break, but it will be back in September. (Sources close to the show tell LateNighter the break was planned long before the current drama at Paramount.) pic.twitter.com\/kZnRrkiWVO<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 LateNighter (@latenightercom) August 4, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It\u2019s not the first time the show has taken an extended summer break.<\/p>\n When Trevor Noah was still hosting in 2021, staffers took a full three months off between the end of The Daily Social Distancing Show in June and the show\u2019s return to the studio in September. And in 2015, the show took a seven-week break between the end of Jon Stewart\u2019s first run and Trevor Noah\u2019s debut as host.<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve reported, The Daily Show has been on a relative hot streak in recent weeks, with Josh Johnson\u2019s hosting debut winning praise from critics (including LateNighter\u2019s own Bill Carter<\/a>) and outdrawing each of the show\u2019s other hosts<\/a>\u2014including Stewart himself\u2014among viewers in the coveted 18\u201349 demo.<\/p>\n Johnson appears to be making the most of the time off, bringing his act to 14 cities over the break. Jon Stewart and Jordan Klepper also have stand-up dates planned.<\/p>\n Comedy Central will be filling The Daily Show\u2019s 11pm ET timeslot with repeats of other programming during the break. (The Family Guy will be airing this Monday and Tuesday, while South Park repeats will take the TDS slot on Wednesday and Thursday.)\u00a0<\/p>\n Visit our lineups area<\/a> for updated guest listings for all the late-night shows, and subscribe to our newsletter<\/a> to get stories like this in your inbox.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\n
