Jon Stewart’s legacy as he exits ‘The Daily Show’

When Stewart announced he was leaving the show, the brand offered him a job over Twitter, only to be-you guessed it-once again ridiculed by the host.

Comedy Central via Facebook Arby’s said it will miss Stewart, though it’s ‘not sure why.’. “Have I caused this?”

His final broadcast will be on August. 6. “The Daily Show” airs at 11 p.m. EDT.

Stewart, 52, is a seminal figure in both news and comedy. “Who’s this little Jew?” he remembered thinking.

Another questionable appreciation for Stewart came from Bill O’Reilly, who published a piece on Deadline.com saying that his conservative frenemy was “great at what he did, whatever that was”.

Arby’s may have been on the receiving end of some none-too-flattering jokes from Jon Stewart over the course of his tenure at The Daily Show, but to the fast-food chain, Stewart is a “pal and a confidant”.

After tonight, Stewart will be replaced by Trevor Noah, who faces a massive challenge to match, never mind improve on, his predecessor.

In recent days some commentators have even compared him to Walter Cronkite.

But as the man who has graced a hundred “most influential” lists prepares to leave “The Daily Show” on Thursday night, it certainly feels true. “I started when I was 14 and I’m 31 now”.

But Comedy Central does. Was likeable, relatable, rarely smug or controversial, and more often than you remember, passionate about the news of the day.

“We worked awfully hard and not every show has been up to snuff”, Stewart said Wednesday.

While Stewart’s plans for after the show have not been released, the desk will have a new life once the lights go out Thursday night.

And now, with only one show left, a media world without Jon Stewart is becoming a reality for many of his adoring fans. True or not, it certainly made them the center of a whole other conversation, about Young Folk and their perceived shifting allegiance from flat-screen to smartphone. “I know the problem: ISIS has spotty regional access to basic cable”.
