In his first official hosting gig since The Daily Show wrapped up earlier this month (#NeverForget), Jon Stewart will be emcee at WWE’s Summer Slam this weekend.
The sports entertainment company announced he’s be tapped as the guest host for the grudge-fuelled smackdown between the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar via Twitter:

A long-time fan of pro-wrestling, this won’t be Jon’s first encounter with sweaty masses of muscle: he and WWE heavyweight champion Seth Rollins got into a faux-spat on The Daily Show his show earlier this year.
Their beef culminated in Jon kicking Rollins in the groin, which will never not be funny:
The four-hour SummerSlam airs live from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday, or 9 a.m. Monday AEST.
Good to have you back, Jon.
