Even President Obama wants to say “Jon Voyage” to the inveterate host of The Daily Show. Comedy Central announced today that Jon Stewart will have one last sit-down with Barack Obama before his run ends on Aug. 6. Though his last days in the anchor chair loom ever closer, the beloved comedian and political satirist clearly isn’t just coasting.

Set for Tuesday, July 21 at 11/10 c, the appearance will be Obama’s third visit as POTUS, and seventh overall. The president made his debut on The Daily Show November 7, 2005, back when he was an up-and-coming member of the U.S. Senate. Over the years, he’s become a familiar face on late night TV, having been interviewed (and even tried his hand at a little hosting) on The Colbert Report, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and more.

The Daily Show’s social media team tweeted the news of the latest POTUS visit, along with a link to all of the previous ones.

Comedy Central and Stewart have been putting together an awesome farewell (or “Jon Voyage,” as the network is calling it). “Your Month of Zen” started at the end of June when Comedy Central made all episodes of The Daily Show available for continuous streaming, giving Stewart fans free access to all 16 years of his Daily Show tenure.

On top of that, the show’s website had a “News Your Own Adventure poll, in which Fans were encouraged to vote for their favorite Daily Show clips. The network will run a compilation of the winning segments in an hour-long special on Sunday, Aug. 2 at 9/8 c. It’s made it a little easier to cope with the fact that Stewart is leaving really leaving.

If you have to watch one Peacock movie this April, stream this one

Given its relatively low number of total subscribers, it's easy to understand how you might forget about Peacock, even if you're one of those subscribers. The service arrived on the streaming scene later in the game, and it was crowded out for many people by Netflix, Max, and Disney+.

Just because the service isn't as popular as some of its competitors, though, doesn't mean there aren't plenty of things worth watching on it. In addition to some devilishly fun original series like Poker Face, Peacock is also home to a great archive of older movies, some of which you might not expect to find on the service. We've selected an especially spooky one, Let the Right One In, as a movie you should definitely check out this April.

3 BritBox shows you should watch in April 2024

While Hollywood is often seen as the best place in the world to make entertainment, you've probably wondered on more than one occasion whether that was actually the case. After all, in spite of their much smaller population, the Brits seem to churn out some pretty excellent films and TV shows at a pretty regular clip.

And what's even better is that they don't keep to the same kind of rigid schedule that many U.S. shows do. Shows return only when they want to, and can run for as long as they please. Americans have started to adopt that model more recently, and to great success. If you're looking for the real thing, though, it's better to just check out what's available on BritBox, which is home to plenty of great British-made content. We've pulled out three shows from the streaming service worth checking out this month.
