Jon Stewart’s final ‘Daily Show’ guests announced

“You’re much more comfortable at the anchor desk on “The Daily Show” than standing up in front of a microphone?”

“Remember, next week is our last week”, Stewart said at the end of the episode.

“We’re gonna have a ball and I can’t wait to show you my appreciation”, he said on Thursday’s episode. “Honestly, it was a combination of the limitations of my brain and a format that is geared towards following an increasingly redundant process, which is our political process”.

Martin Crook Jon Stewart’s final day on “The Daily Show” is August 6.

On Wednesday, Stewart – in one of his final shows before he turns over the reins to Trevor Noah on Monday – stressed that the meetings weren’t secret. Consider this: At the same time Ailes was supporting Bush, CBS anchor Dan Rather was breaking down on the Letterman show and declaring “George Bush is the President”.

It would be very surprising if Colbert didn’t show up being that he got his start on the “Daily Show” in 1997.

And the news gives him plenty of nuttiness. It’s no longer predicated around 24 hour news. He has been criticized at times for going easy on politicians he likes, at least when they are guests on his show.

During the Television Critics Association press tour this week, Noah talked to reporters about the pressure, why he wants to interview Donald Trump, and the overall tone he’ll bring to the comedic news show.

Some (even Stewart) would say “The Daily Show” is a half-hour of silliness meant to call out politicians and other power brokers with no higher objective than amusing its audience. He implored them to “stop hurting America“, and when Tucker Carlson, the show’s conservative host, invited him to drop the serious act and be amusing, Stewart shot back, “No, I’m not going to be your monkey!”

“The Daily Show” under Stewart thus made a credible argument that, for both journalism and public affairs, bogus is the new real, leaving fact and fantasy interchangeable. Then the comedian said, “I’m pretty sure I was there because he’s run out of people to watch King Ralph with”.
