Hulu Offering $40 Million For ‘The Daily Show’

Hulu users are missing their daily dose of Jon Stewart and now the video site is offering big money to bring him back.

The internet television service will be paying Viacom between $40 and $50 million for the rights to air The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report on its site. Both shows were available on Hulu until March of last year.

The new deal between Hulu and Viacom was announced last night.  Episodes of Comedy Central’s perennially popular talk shows will be posted on Hulu the day after they air. Additionally, Viacom will provide Hulu with shows like Tosh.0 and Jersey Shore, on a 21 day delay.
