Even President Obama wants to say “Jon Voyage” to the inveterate host of The Daily Show. Comedy Central announced today that Jon Stewart will have one last sit-down with Barack Obama before his run ends on Aug. 6. Though his last days in the anchor chair loom ever closer, the beloved comedian and political satirist clearly isn’t just coasting.

Set for Tuesday, July 21 at 11/10 c, the appearance will be Obama’s third visit as POTUS, and seventh overall. The president made his debut on The Daily Show November 7, 2005, back when he was an up-and-coming member of the U.S. Senate. Over the years, he’s become a familiar face on late night TV, having been interviewed (and even tried his hand at a little hosting) on The Colbert Report, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and more.

The Daily Show’s social media team tweeted the news of the latest POTUS visit, along with a link to all of the previous ones.

Comedy Central and Stewart have been putting together an awesome farewell (or “Jon Voyage,” as the network is calling it). “Your Month of Zen” started at the end of June when Comedy Central made all episodes of The Daily Show available for continuous streaming, giving Stewart fans free access to all 16 years of his Daily Show tenure.

On top of that, the show’s website had a “News Your Own Adventure poll, in which Fans were encouraged to vote for their favorite Daily Show clips. The network will run a compilation of the winning segments in an hour-long special on Sunday, Aug. 2 at 9/8 c. It’s made it a little easier to cope with the fact that Stewart is leaving really leaving.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
