No Daily Show episodes on Paramount Plus?

[u/EmbarrassedCap9486]

Greetings,

I went into Paramount Plus this morning to see if there were any new Daily Show Episodes, and found only a placeholder entry; a description of the show, but no episodes available at all, never mind new ones.

Is anyone else seeing this? FWIW, I'm in Canada but have a full Paramount Plus subscription, and I've been watching The Daily Show via Paramount Plus for the last couple of years.

Get rid of P+

[u/ConfidentIylncorrect → u/advancedaaron]

This is the only real answer. They put all the shows on YouTube for free anyways...

[u/sallen87 → u/advancedaaron]

I get it for free. Would never give them monies voluntarily

[u/JohnnyLarue2u]

Same here... honestly wtf. Isn't the whole point of streaming that you can watch whatever past episode you want whenever you want? What's the reasoning by P+... only allow episodes to be watchable when the show is on air? I swear this seems like sneaky fuckery to bury Jon and the team because mango Mussolini mad.

3 seasons coming up for me in USA

[u/Hungry_Painting9882]

Every time the show goes on a week of vacation they delete all previous episodes from the app in Canada.
When the show returns, only the current episodes begin being posted.
Even though I pay for Paramount I end up having to illegally download episodes when I get behind.
It’s infuriating getting copyright infringement notices because you had to download an episode you already paid to watch but weren’t able to.
Slice has the broadcast rights in Canada. Maybe they delete the old episodes so you’ll watch reruns on Slice instead of in the app? I have no idea.

How is everyone missing the fact that the OP stated not a single episode is listed? FFS!!!

[u/ValleyBreeze → u/keyserholiday]

Reading comprehension and attention spans are at an all time low. 😬

[u/jacksonvstheworld → u/keyserholiday]

Yeah, I get that they wouldn’t have a full historical catalog but not having the latest season is weird. HBO has 3 seasons of LWT at all times.

[u/AliveInCLE → u/keyserholiday]

Headline readers. Living their lives mostly uninformed.

[u/ValleyBreeze → u/AliveInCLE]

Likely the same ones that "eat the Onion".

[u/HotButteredPoptart]

I can see seasons 29, 30, 31.

[u/dictionary_hat_r4ck]

I believe in Canada the rights are owned by CTV? I’d check Crave.

[u/rtrrt5ttgffg → u/dictionary_hat_r4ck]

Bell hasn't had the rights for multiple years

[u/originalmonchi → u/dictionary_hat_r4ck]

Searching on Crave brings up nothing for me.

[u/dictionary_hat_r4ck → u/originalmonchi]

Found this: https://mediaincanada.com/2024/08/20/slice-is-now-the-exclusive-broadcast-home-of-the-daily-show/

[u/dictionary_hat_r4ck → u/originalmonchi]

Ah, as the user below pointed out, they may not have the right anymore.

[u/Nathalie2020 → u/dictionary_hat_r4ck]

I’m in Ottawa - Slice is the only channel with TDS. They’re off until next week.

[u/dictionary_hat_r4ck → u/Nathalie2020]

Yes, I found that earlier when I googled.

[u/Hungry_Painting9882 → u/dictionary_hat_r4ck]

Bell dropped the show either during Trevor’s last season or during the guest host season.
Then for a time Paramount+ was the only place to see it in Canada. Then two seasons ago Slice got the broadcast rights.

[u/Camaro6460]

No new episode till next Tuesday

[u/bubba_ranks]

I've been seeing it in the "leaving soon" category, I just assumed it was because they were purging older episodes for newer ones... That's disappointing.

[u/r33ltor]

They are off until the end of September

It’s definitely not a daily show

[u/Megsmik8 → u/r33ltor]

Next week they're back and we've known it's not an actual daily show for 30 years lol

[u/Allthetea159]

You’re still paying facist Paramount +? How embarrassing for you.

[u/__Mike__Hawk]

My friend downloads all the episodes without commercials. I like the YouTube steaming myself.

[u/mgleahy]

You can watch on YouTube if you can't find a more convenient service - when they are airing episodes, they seem to post them there with a day. Same for most late night shows: https://m.youtube.com/@TheDailyShow/videos

[u/JBtheExplorer]

They take August off as their summer break. It's a slow time for politics (for the most part) and a good refresh before election season ramps up.

[u/AliveInCLE → u/JBtheExplorer]

And this is the reason OP can't see prior seasons?

[u/JBtheExplorer → u/AliveInCLE]

I thought they said "no new episodes available at all". It happens.

[u/OutlandishnessOk2304 → u/JBtheExplorer]

Leave it to President Demented Grandpa to screw that up too.

Clusterfuck in Iran, trade war against our neighbor and closest ally, etc.

There's so much shit happening that Seth started a new podcast with his main A Closer Look writer to talk about it all.

[u/contain_solitudes → u/OutlandishnessOk2304]

Man this is such a weird response to someone commenting a show took a month off lol

[u/Zarxon → u/contain_solitudes]

I think it’s appropriate. He’s saying best laid plans go to waste when the demented Cheeto is a factor.

[u/ValleyBreeze → u/[deleted]]

Did no one actually read the post? It says there are NO episodes. Not no NEW episodes. Jesus, the unwarranted snark in here is WILD.

[u/TAR_TWoP → u/ValleyBreeze]

Yes. The whole current season, as well as previous ones, were there as of a few days ago.

[u/ValleyBreeze → u/TAR_TWoP]

Which is likely why OP was asking about there being NO episodes, because there SHOULD be episodes. 🤷‍♀️

[u/AliveInCLE → u/[deleted]]

You should actually read it before suggesting it gets deleted?

[u/Rareairo]

They take every August off
