Jon Stewart Returns to 'Daily Show' for the First Time, Slams Congress - Watch Now!

Jon Stewart returned to The Daily Show for the first time since stepping down earlier this summer, joining current host Trevor Noah on stage.

The 53-year-old former talk show host went back on the show to slam congress over the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which is set to completely expire by next October. The act has provided health care to 9/11 responders who were made ill.
