With The Daily Show dark tonight as staffers make their way back from Sunday night’s Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, viewers will have to wait another week for Jon Stewart to retake the show’s anchor desk.
The show itself will be back with new episodes Tuesday through Thursday of this week, with Desi Lydic at the helm.
While The Daily Show came up short in both of its nominated categories on Sunday—losing Outstanding Talk Series to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver—Lydic herself is fresh off two wins at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys for her Daily Show YouTube series Desi Lydic Foxsplains,
She’ll open her three-night run this weel by chatting with Jay Duplass and Michael Strassner, the director and star of the indie comedy The Baltimorons. Midweek, she’ll welcome rising actor Cooper Hoffman to talk about new film The Long Walk. And she’ll wrap the week in conversation with Michael Urie, who’s currently appearing onstage in the Off-Broadway hit Oh, Mary!.
The Daily Show isn’t the only late-night show taking a quick post-Emmys break. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is also dark tonight, with Colbert and team set to kick off a shortened week of shows Tuesday.
Stewart is expected back next Monday, September 23.
