With a bit more gray in his hair, but the same amount of sarcasm and satire, Jon Stewart is back in the anchor chair at the Daily Show. The comedian, turned news and culture phenomenon, helped put the show on the map while serving as host for 16 years. Signing off last in 2015, he is back to voice his outrage and humor as executive producer and host of the show every Monday through the 2024 election. But why did he decide now was the time to return? USA TODAY Entertainment Reporter Marco Della Cava joins The Excerpt to talk about whether the Stewart of old can still capture the hearts and minds of audiences of today.

Never replaced Jon. Will be there every Monday. Left after the first week of Trevor.

The answer is NO, Jon Stewart is not for the new generation. New generation has attention span of 1 second, for as long as it takes to swipe the content from left to right on the phone screen. New generation only speaks in slogans and understands simple memes. New generation does not understand subtleties and wants white hats and black hats to identify good guys and bad guys. New generation is only driven by hate to those who they are against, not by love to those who are with them.
Della Cava says he misses Sam Bee's on location interviews, but Jordan Klepper has frequently interviewed Trump supporters. These interviews are losing their impact. Much like watching repeated mass shootings, these Trump rally field pieces are no longer surprising. They're just hopelessly depressing.
Can anybody make sense of the mess we're in?
