Jon Stewart is not sure if “The Daily Show” can survive the proposed fusion of Skydance Media and Central Comedy of Compañía Madle Paramount Global. They asked about their possibilities in the episode of Thursday of “The weekly show“By producer Brittany Mehmedovic.

“Chico, that’s a good question,” Stewart replied.

“Unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything about them,” he continued. “They have not called me and said, such as: ‘Don’t feel too comfortable in that office, Stewart!’ But let me tell you something, the shit establishments have expelled me that.

Presumably, those comments were recorded before the announcement of News on Thursday that he was canceling the “The Late Show” by Stephen Colbert, since Stewart did not mention his former central colleague of the comedy or the imminent final of Colbert’s 10 -year mandate.

The cancellation of the “Late Show” arrived a few days after Colbert criticized Paramount Global in the air for establishing himself with President Donald Trump for $ 16 million in a “60 minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to reports, the agreement included a “secondary agreement” that guarantees that News executes at least $ 15 million in public service ads Promote causes that Trump personally supports, that many, including Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), You have noticed what seems to be “bribery.”

The pending and highly publicized merger with Skydance remarkably requires the legal approval of President Pro-Trump of the Federal Communications Commission, which increases the suspicions that Paramount Global was simply resolved to satisfy Trump and increase the possibilities of his success.

Stewart, who organized “The Daily Show” from 1999 to 2015 before returning in 2024, said Thursday that Comedy Central is “as Muzak at this time.” According to the reports, Paramount Global deleted the archived material of the network last year to “optimize” the Central Comedy website.

“I think we are the only type of life that exists on a current basis that, like, like ‘South Park’,” he said in the podcast, adding: “But it is the only thing there. I would like to think that we contribute enough value to the property if they look at it as a transaction of real estate.”

“I think we contribute a lot of value,” he continued. “But that might not be your consideration. I don’t know. You can sell all the fucking place for pieces. I just don’t know. And we will treat it when we do. But I am very happy and proud of all who work there.”
