    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    There's another departure in store for "The Daily Show."

    Jason Jones will leave the Comedy Central series after nearly a decade to star in and produce a new TBS sitcom that was announced Tuesday.

    Earlier this month, "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart said he will leave sometime this year.

    Samantha Bee, Jones' wife and fellow "Daily Show" correspondent, will remain with the satirical news show, Comedy Central said in confirming Jones' exit.

    But Bee will join her husband as an executive producer on the TBS sitcom about a family on the road.

    On Twitter, Jones said it was time for him to exit "The Daily Show," which he called among TV's greatest programs.

    Comedy Central said Jones will leave this year but didn't give a date for his last show.

    Netflix capped last year with another solid financial performance despite slowing subscriber growth that underscored the importance of its contested $72 billion bid to take over Warner Bros.' movie studio and slot HBO Max into its video streaming line-up. The fourth-quarter results announced Tuesday eclipsed the projections of stock market analysts, but Netflix's report also noted that the video service ended the year with more than 325 million worldwide subscribers, a figure indicating it has added about 23 million subscribers since 2024. The 2025 subscriber increase marked a dramatic slowdown from the 41 million picked up during 2024, amplifying investor worries that Netflix's growth has peaked since the 2022 introduction of a low-priced, advertising-supported version of its service that triggered a massive surge in subscribers. Management also forecast a profit for the January-March period that was below analysts' predictions and announced Netflix would stop buying back its own stock while trying to complete the Warner Bros' deal. Even though its ad sales are expected to double, Netflix also projected its revenue growth would taper off from 16% in 2025 to 12% to 14% this year. "Overall, this points to a challenging start to the year," said Investing.com analyst Thomas Monteiro. Netflix's shares sank nearly 5% in extended trading, even though its profit and revenue for the past quarter were better than anticipated. The company earned $2.4 billion, or 56 cents per share, 29% increase from the same time in the previous year. Revenue rose 18% from the previous year to more than $12 billion. The results almost seemed like a footnote next to the stakes involved in Netflix's bidding war to buy Warner Bros. Discovery . The battle took another turn... Read More
