Jon Stewart has found his first gig after retiring from The Daily Show earlier this month and it actually shouldn’t come as a surprise to his most loyal fans. Stewart will host this weekend’s WWE SummerSlam on Sunday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The job was first reported by USA Today and later confirmed by the WWE.
Stewart is a longtime pro wrestling fan and even got into a feud with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins earlier this year. Stewart later appeared on Monday Night Raw in March.
SummerSlam is already sold-out and has grown into a four-hour broadcast with a one-hour pre-show, which starts at 6 p.m. ET on the WWE Network. The event will also feature actor Stephen Amell’s rematch with Stardust.
Stewart ended his historic 16-year Daily Show run on Aug. 6 with a special hour-long episode. He will be replaced by Trevor Noah, who starts in late September.
