Published



Late-night television host Jon Stewart’s return to The Daily Show on Monday night provided a boost in the show‘s ratings, but not enough to help it surpass most of the competition.

Stewart, whose return to The Daily Show comes following a nine-year departure from the show, saw his show reach 930,000 viewers in the 11 p.m. Eastern timeslot, 320,000 of whom are between the ages of 25-54. Gutfeld!, hosted by Fox News personality Greg Gutfeld, bested The Daily Show in its 10 p.m. Eastern timeslot, getting 2.23 million viewers in total and 328,000 in the 25-54 key age demographic, according to data from Nielson Media Research.
