If you tuned in to “The Daily Show” on Monday wondering where Jon Stewart went, rest assured the veteran Comedy Central host will be back.

Stewart is in Los Angeles this week for the annual “Netflix is a Joke” festival, where he will appear on John Mulaney’s live show “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In L.A.”

In the meantime, correspondent Jordan Klepper will assume Stewart’s hosting duties until Wednesday evening. On Thursday, Stewart will return to the host chair.

Stewart has filled in as a temporary Monday evening host on the Daily Show for the past two months. He will continue hosting on Mondays — except for this week, when he will appear on Thursday — through the presidential election.
