According to a report from Jed Rosenzweig of LateNighter, a website and newsletter that covers late-night television, Johnson's debut had the highest ratings of any "Daily Show" host so far this year other than Jon Stewart, the famed comedian who turned the Comedy Central program into a late night staple.

Comedian and long time Daily Show writer Josh Johnson scored record viewership numbers in his hosting debut on Tuesday, outstripping even Jon Stewart in the key 18-49 demographic.
