Jon Stewart says he’s leaving The Daily Show

[yuiyoshida]

Ending one of the most venerable and trusted careers in making a complete mockery of the news, Jon Stewart has announced that he is stepping down as host of The Daily Show. According to sources who were there (some of whom are already passing word along on social media), Stewart let the news slip at the taping of today’s episode, telling those in the audience that he’s retiring. No word yet on when exactly he’s leaving, whether this means he’s ending his time in the anchor chair to focus on being a Serious Movie Director now, or just how much this is Brian Williams’ fault. Presumably all of this information will be revealed in time—and delivered by Stewart himself tonight on your television. We’ll update when we have more.

1. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[arcane1]

2. Well dammit, I suppose it had to happen eventually :(

I've been loving the hell out of Oliver's and Wilmore's shows, at least.

I wonder who would replace him?

Oooh: how about Jason Jones AND Samantha Bee?????

[randome]

3. No.

No.

4. NOOOOOOOOO!

Where can we get the real news! Oh the humanity.

But this totally sucks! Of course I wish him the best! And I will miss him.

[Godhumor]

5. He already passed the torch to John Oliver

Good on him for starting the next generation of shows and being able to choose for himself when to step aside (instead of having someone choose for him).

6. He should run for President, then.

[yuiyoshida]

8. omg, can you imagine that??

Would O'Reilly still call him a pin head, if he won?

[bravenak]

9. It would kill Bill, seriously.

Imagine the debates with Jeb vs. Jon. Popcorn central.

[zappaman]

7. Well, that sucks.

I love John Oliver's show, but Larry Whitmore doesn't do it for me.

[NuclearDem]

10. OH HELL NO

[AtomicKitten]

11. Oh hell no.

12. Press Secretary Jon Stewart in the Sanders administration

[goldent]

13. I'm surprised he did it as long as he did

Seems like it would be quite a grind

[bigwillq]

14. Oh noes.

Where will I get my fake news now?

Faux?

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. ...

You know they will be celebrating

[AngryAmish]

15. Did he have a good show?

Everyone always talks about it. Now I feel like the time I skipped going to a Nirvana show because I had a test.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. I wonder if that's why he brought Bassem Youssef on last night.

That would be a cool thing. His show's been banned.

18. Well Done, Jon!

I have enjoyed your show for years, never miss,
and the last 6 years, you were my Go To for intelligent, insightful, political commentary, one of the best offered by American Media.

On to bigger (or better) things.
I hope you don't leave political commentary.
