NEW YORK Jon Stewart, unlike New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, today agreed to a contract extension. The Comedy Central deal will keep him managing "The Daily Show" through 2010.
"I love doing this show. . . . I look forward to using this extension to having great fun at President Colbert's expense," Stewart said in a statement today. His stablemate Stephen Colbert declared a perhaps limited run for the White House this week.
Stewart has been hosting the late-night "Daily Show" since 1999.
Colbert may have already frightened Sam Brownback out of the GOP race, though the comedian plans to run in both party primaries -- at least in his native South Carolina, a key early testing ground.
Earlier Thursday, Comedy Central announced that it decided to place 13,000 clips from "The Daily Show" on the Web, offering the ad-supported video for free.
