Jon Stewart Announces His Final ‘Daily Show’ Guests

Still, the South African comic didn’t mince words when it came to expressing his gratitude towards Stewart, whose influence helped land Noah the job.

Last night, Stewart appeared on The Daily Show, and confirmed that the meeting with Obama was not so secret.

From there, Stewart began making fun of WWE’s rampant commercialism, which cascaded into a full-blown flashback of all the times The Daily Show has mockingly shilled for corporate sponsors.

“Look, let me tell you how this happened”. “There are so many different choices”.

He continued, noting that the Internet has emerged as a leading source of information: “Half of it is online now”.

After greater than 16 years and nearly 2,600 telecasts, Jon Stewart can really feel pleased with his scads of Emmys and his pair of Peabody Awards, his cultural gravitas (he hung with the Prez, each on and off the air!), even his reprobate standing at Fox Information.

During Wednesday’s Television Critics Association press tour, Noah was asked about how the show would change when he took over.

“I can understand if there are some folks at Fox who are concerned that any meeting that I take with a powerful individual should be disclosed lest it be considered possible collusion”, Stewart acknowledged.

“I don’t strive to be offensive”, he said. Kilborn, a vet of ESPN’s “SportsCenter” at the time, put in two years behind the desk, commanding a show that skewered pop culture and featured Kilborn demonstrating his charm and intellect. A successful writer-producer (“The PJs” and “The Bernie Mac Show”), he served as Senior Black Correspondent before leaving “The Daily Show” to host Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show“, which premiered in January. The way people are drawing their news is soundbites and headlines and click-bait links has changed everything.

One of the first guests he’d like to have on the show is the infamous Trump. And refuel. Because we who counted on you as our weeknight sage need you back – however you choose to make it so.

More than any other recent late-night finale, I’m hearing from viewers who are not just sentimental about “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart” coming to an end, they are gravely concerned.
