Comedy Central’s late-night political-satire duo will stick around at least through the next midterm elections. According to a statement released by the cable network this morning, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have both extended their contracts with Comedy Central for the next couple of years. Colbert’s contract extension runs through the end of 2014; Stewart’s runs a bit further, up to the middle of 2015.

Both will continue to serve as multi-hyphenate host/writer/producers for their respective series, which have both experienced ratings growth this year, due in no small part to ongoing three ring circus that is the 2012 presidential election.

They keep the program current and always have different type guests on so they have a strong post-Bush following.

The way this country is going we need em but John Stewart keeps it too real

Stewart >>>>

jon stewarts writing staff can be so corny sometimes

actually its usually full of corniness and it has its moments sometimes instead

The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are legitimate news programs

they just present it to you in a comical way

I love both shows
