But Mr. Stewart, the political satirist and star of “The Daily Show,” is getting another shot at the Oscar podium.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which bestows the Oscars, is expected to bring back Mr. Stewart, who was host of the ceremony in 2006. An announcement is scheduled for Wednesday, according to two people involved with the plan who spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to the news media.
A spokesman for the academy declined to comment. And a publicist for Mr. Stewart declined to comment.
The show, scheduled for Feb. 24 on ABC, will be produced by Gil Cates, who was also the producer when Mr. Stewart made his appearance in 2006.
