Stewart and OscarRatings for last year's Oscars with Jon Stewart hosting were abysmal, but the New York Times' Michael Cieply reports that he's the choice again. An announcement is expected Wednesday. I discovered in London that a nightly version of "The Daily Show" now airs overseas on CNN International, but Nikki Finke makes the point that Stewart still elicits who's he? outside the United States.
