The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and guest Jon Stewart during Monday's June 17, 2019 show.
Jon Stewart, pictured in 2015, is making a return to conventional TV.
  • Jon Stewart hasn't been on conventional TV since 2015.
  • TV audiences are shrinking, and late-night TV is having a particularly hard time.
  • But Stewart could do well on TikTok, YouTube, and other digital outlets, and that may be enough.

Jon Stewart is coming back to (regular) TV. Will he find his audience there when he shows up?

That's a fair question, given that the TV landscape has changed dramatically since he left in 2015.
