Recently retired “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart’s first foray back into the spotlight will take place next week, when he hosts Stamford-based WWE’s second-biggest wrestling event of the year, the company announced.
Stewart will host WWE’s four-hour “SummerSlam” event Aug. 23 in New York. The event will air on WWE Network.
Following a challenge earlier this year from WWE wrestler Seth Rollins, the 16-year Comedy Central host appeared on WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” program, where he kicked Rollins in the crotch.
