Per Nielsen, it went from an average of 0.366% to 0.423%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIn terms of share, this grew by 25% in the same period from a 2.2 to a 2.76.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe company said that on Monday nights, which are hosted by Stewart, who recently signed another one-year to remain through 2026, it was the number one late-night cable show among the 18-34 and 18-49 demos. There aren\u2019t a great deal of others apart from Bravo\u2019s Watch What Happens Live.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThese numbers shouldn\u2019t come as a huge surprise given that in June, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2025\/07\/the-daily-show-ratings-high-1236455303\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the network touted the fact that in the second quarter of 2025, it landed its best quarterly share<\/a> since the third quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe Daily Show also had its best year ever when it comes to social views. It reached 6.7B views, per the company, which it said was up 72%, while engagements were up 45% to 418.8M and total minutes consumed rose 44% to 11.2B.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tStewart returns to host the show tonight with Senator Mark Kelly joining for an interview. Kelly could see a reduction in his retirement rank and military pension after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth started administrative actions against him following comments to remind those serving that they should refuse illegal orders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tChieng will host the rest of the week with guests including No Other Choice director Park Chan-wook, Freakonomics\u2019 Stephen J. Dubner and Lucy Liu, who is promoting Rosemead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Daily Show is back from its winter hiatus tonight and it\u2019s going into the show with some&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[4207,88,9609,9610,92,9611],"class_list":["post-390118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-comedy-central","tag-entertainment","tag-jon-stewart","tag-the-daily-show","tag-tv","tag-tv-ratings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
