Jon Stewart returning to the Daily Show
(hosting once a week to help make sense of the 2024 election)

And as executive producer.

https://www.vulture.com/article/jon-stewart-the-daily-show-return-2024.html

Starting February 12, Jon Stewart will host The Daily Show every Monday to see the show through to the end of the 2024 election cycle. The show’s team of correspondents will share hosting duties for the rest of each week. Stewart will also serve as an executive producer and help the show decide on a new, more permanent direction.
(on Comedy Central)

Edit to add an fyi:  For Canadians, it will stream the following day on ParamountPlusCanada

"The move comes after Stewart prematurely exited his Apple TV+ show, The Problem, following creative differences between the iPhone maker and its host over potential topics and guests."

The media has been relentlessly attacking Biden on this subject since the '20 primary, while presenting Trump as sharp, brave, and witty beyond human understanding. You can sense just how unhappy they are to have to admit that he is in real decline...so of course it has to be "both sides bad." SNL also made sure to start the last Weekend Update off with a torturous segment along these lines. 

What's going to make this whole con job even more desperate is that they can no longer brag they are getting any ratings boost out of their Trump obsession. The interest is not there this time around. It's just flat out carrying water for the moneymen.

(I know it's Semafor, sorry)

"Centrist" media startup The Messenger, plagued by layoffs and BTS drama for months, has collapsed with almost zero warning to staff and no severance along with the entire website nuked.

Thread:

A gossipy Puck piece full of commentary from Puck and Axios staff (both as equally vapid as The Messenger) unfolds here (archived to bypass paywall).

In more startling news, I did not know that Jeff Zucker, perpetually eager for a comeback, is attempting to buy the Daily Telegraph in the UK with Saudi money which he hotly insists will not bias his coverage.

    • I would love if Sarah were already pregnant and then, even with the reveal that she knew about the letter, that she and Xander would work on things to keep their family intact. But I fear that time is running out. Whatever Philip is doing is probably going to mess up everything. I do like that Kayla and Sarah mentioned the Horton legacy with the hospital and that Kayla would much prefer Xander financing it over EJ. Xander is suddenly Horton adjacent. Belle is as usual a massive hypocrite whining about 'everything' Xander has done to her family when EJ raped her sister, kept her cancer ridden toddler from her, helped Nicole keep the baby she had stolen from Sami for a year, shot her dad in the head, and as recently as last year railroaded her innocent teen nephew into prison where he was beaten up. Sure, Xander shot Brady and Marlena but both of them seem to be over it. Cat should have just graciously accepted Xander's apology. I actually like that he treated Felicity like anybody else and did not coddle her. I hope we see him apologizing though. I wonder if Cat knows that Xander shot their granddad Kon dead last year? She might like him better if she knew. I wonder who is calling her? My money is on Gwen for some reason. I feel like Cat and Chad will get comfy and then we will find out Abby is out there and Gwen has had her. EJ and Cat were far more palatable than Chad and Cat, but EJ makes everybody easier to tolerate. Roman and Kate vs Johnny and Paulina... not sure which were more boring. I guess I'll go with Roman and Kate because he speaks so darn slowly now. Philip is entertaining the heck out of me. I hope he ends up the hero who saves Bo. I think it would be hysterical if he managed to get his hands on the Versovix and EJ ends up buying a useless money pit of a hospital.
    • I just start to laugh thinking about the interview where Leslie related its being Tom Donovan who talked her into doing GH & then, once she was settled in & looked around for him, he had JUST vanished!! 
    • We probably would if the writers bothered to write for them... but they've proven unable to write anything for them.  Even though Ashley has potential as a character.   @janea4oldMy theory is that Joey might end up being Ashley's father... but time will tell.
    • But, you have to admit, Dani seems to be, relishing in the fact that she is not the only one in pain, or had a trash husband. That's how it is coming across to me, she is enjoying this too much!
    • I assume not as we would have probably heard, but she could have been a good fit. I could see her being a good Leslie Brooks recast, although by that point the show had fully moved on from Leslie.  I'm not sure who she could have been on B&B, although I could see her playing yet another Beth Logan recast.
    • Are we supposed to care about Ashley and Derek 
    • Yes, I am glad to hear that. I personally feel he shines in other areas.
