Amy Schumer Among Final Guests Set for DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART
“My dream was to go there and work with him for as long as possible”. “You don’t want people knowing I was over there”, to which Obama nodded and said “exactly”. “This show doesn’t deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you”. “Would it be safe to say in a galaxy far, far away that there are no Mexicans?” I’m broken.
The Washington Post reported that the last episode, which will air on August. 6 is being kept under wraps.
“It wasn’t really that big a deal”, Stewart said.
“The image of Americans that is reflected back to us by our political and media process is false”, Stewart declared.
“Remember, next week is our last week”, Stewart reminded his audience. That’s major news to get over your morning tea”, while actor Hugh Laurie tweeted, “Devastated that Jon Stewart is standing down. “When do we draw the line?'”.
Albanese agreed with that assessment: “I took this guy to the @nyccomedycellar tonight and he couldn’t resist the mic. The Cellar is where it all began for Jon”.
Will Fox News miss Stewart when he’s gone?
Arriving two years before Stewart…
After joking about meeting with Obama “and Elvis, who’s still alive”, Stewart noted that he entered the White House through its public entrance and that both meetings were listed in the White House visitor logs, available for anyone to see. “The shadow of Jon Stewart is going to loom large”.
Noah, 31, joined “The Daily Show” as a contributor in 2014.
Trevor Noah plans on making some big changes to The Daily Show as part of his upcoming hosting gig. He will be replaced by comedian Trevor Noah, who recently spoke about the pressure he feels in taking over the institution. Noah’s comedy often riffs on racial topics, including a couple of one-man shows he titled “Born a Crime” and “That’s Racist”.
This kind of “comedy” mocking Christian Fox-watching Reagan admirers is his daily dish.
Stewart announced in February that he would be departing “The Daily Show” after 17 years as host. 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. Colbert left the show to launch his own companion show, which he hosted for a decade. “Basically, it’s this: ‘Jon, why are you such an asshole?'”.
“His basic idea was there were lots of underrepresented voices out there that deserve to be heard”, Wilmore added.
Noah said (via TIME): “The Daily Show was based on an emerging 24 hour news cycle, that’s everything it was”. My jaw just kinda dropped.
Sure, I’ll give him a chance. “That sounds great.’ “.
Politico also credited Stewart with fueling the recent national conversation about the Confederate flag-a valid topical discussion of racism, though it failed to address deeper concerns about institutionalized prejudice.
