For 14 years, Jon Stewart has presided over the most influential fake-news program of our time. But as Stewart steps back from his Daily Show duties, taking a three-month leave to direct his first feature film, correspondent John Oliver will take over as fill-in host. Don’t expect huge changes, just a slightly different touch. Oliver has hilariously described his upcoming stint as “everything that you love about The Daily Show, just without the thing that you love the most about it.” Seth Rogen and Fareed Zakaria will be first-week guests. Monday, June 10, at 11 p.m., Comedy Central
