‘The Daily Show’ Scores a Decade-High in Ratings

Comedy Central’s cornerstone late-night news satire just hit its biggest quarterly demo share in ten years. According to Nielsen, Q2 of 2025 delivered the strongest 18–49 audience numbers since Q3 2015—the quarter that capped off Jon Stewart’s final magical run (remember that Bruce Springsteen send-off?).

Back then, Stewart’s farewell episodes gave the show a huge ratings bump, and now it’s reclaimed that mojo with fresh viewership highs. Looks like The Daily Show still knows how to keep people tuning in—even a decade on.
