He might have only concluded his final Daily Show less than a fortnight ago, but Jon Stewart has already lined up a return to television. However, piledrivers, rather than politics, will be the satirist's focus this time: Stewart will be guest-hosting World Wrestling Entertainment's pay-per-view extravaganza SummerSlam this Sunday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The WWE website confirmed Stewart's appearance at the event on Monday in response to a report by USA Today.

Stewart's appearance is less surprising than it might seem. A longtime wrestling fan, he appeared on WWE's Raw show in March as part of a long-running mock-feud with wrestler Seth Rollins, which began when Rollins interrupted The Daily Show's closing Moment of Zen segment in February.
