What is coming up on Comedy Central in April 2026?

In April 2026, Comedy Central is anchored by the continued 31st season of The Daily Show, which maintains its high-stakes "Indecision 2026" midterm coverage with Jon Stewart hosting on Monday nights. While the show takes a brief hiatus during the week of April 6 for an early-spring slowdown, it returns mid-month with its signature rotation of "The Best F#@king News Team" correspondents, including Desi Lydic, Ronny Chieng, and Josh Johnson, occupying the anchor chair. The month’s schedule is further bolstered by the television premiere of Jeff Dunham: Comedy Central Live on April 7, alongside the debut of the quirky altruistic series Rosie Jones Tries To Help. Animation fans can tune in for relentless nightly marathons of South Park, which remains a cultural lightning rod following its recent satire of the Department of Justice, as well as staple blocks of The Office, Family Guy, and The Cleveland Show. Meanwhile, the network continues to serve as the linear home for prestige stand-up, featuring new specials and "Greatest Hits" collections that bridge the gap between the day's satirical news and late-night irreverence.

Frequently asked questions

Fubo (formerly fubo TV) has a number of plans: Pro, Elite, Deluxe and Sports, with a Latino package at a fraction of the cost and for a lot less channels. Add-ons are also available, if you wish to add more sports and entertainment to your package.

No, Fubo is a completely different and independent streaming provider to Amazon.

While Fubo has plenty of sports options, it lacks the Warner Bros. Discovery channels, meaning you can't watch TNT, TBS, and TruTV, which are crucial for some MLB and NBA games and other popular content.

Furthermore, due to recent developments, Fubo have also recently lost rights to the NBC channels - a huge drawback for a sports-centric service when NBC carries popular sporting events such as Sunday Night Football and English Premier League soccer.

Yes, payments are taken monthly unless you opt for a quarterly payment setup.

Yes, Fubo is available to use on a Fire Stick, as well as a number of other devices, including Roku.

Yes, you can watch Fubo on your television, by installing the app onto your Smart TV or via a web browser that's connected to your TV.

Yes, you can watch up to 10 simultaneous streams from your home location on various devices connected to your home Wi-Fi, and on three additional mobile devices from various locations away from your home.

Prices tend to rise annually, but Fubo does operate a one-year price lock guarantee.

No, Fubo doesn't give refunds for this, but doesn't lock you in to annual contract either.

Fubo could be down due to a number of reasons, such as internet connectivity, app problems or even a service outage.

Check the Wi-Fi or home broadband you're connected to to see if there's an issue there. You can try updating or reinstalling the app, as well as checking there isn't an electrical outage in the area by testing other equipment or, specifically, other devices or apps that connect to the same internet.

There's a good chance your internet speed isn't fast enough, especially if you are experiencing buffering while streaming.

Check there's nothing blocking or interfering with the internet hub or router, so the signal isn't being disrupted.

Optionally, you can lower the picture quality if you are experiencing buffering, which may help it to run smoother.

This could be because the service is geo-restricted, meaning you cannot use it outside of the United States or area you are trying to access specific local channels.

Using a VPN is a way to circumvent the issue, as Fubo is generally region and country specific.
