Jon Stewart announces final three ‘Daily Show’ guests, marathon to air

Stewart has anchored the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning show since 1999. “I’m tainted by hope and optimism”, he said. “People must review away”, he said. I’m broken.

Stewart then lays out how the meetings went down.

John’s replacement Trevor Noah told reporters how much he respects Jon Stewart.

What will the show be like after Jon?

Jon Stewart turned his attention to next week’s GOP debate during Thursday’s “Daily Show“, openly wondering which of the many Republican candidates will be allowed to take the stage. “We opened with the traditional Saul Alinsky prayer, supped on the blood of the righteous and took turns f***ing a replica of the Reagan eye socket”, says Stewart. “When do we draw the line?'”.

During the past decade, Stewart’s running feud with Fox News (and, in particular, host Bill O’Reilly) has become the stuff of TV legend.

“The biggest pressure for me is living up to the expectations that Jon has of me”, he said.

Stewart’s final show will also run longer than usual at 50 minutes and Comedy Central will have a “Daily Show” marathon leading up to his final sign off on August 6, according to the network’s website schedule. “The shadow of Jon Stewart is going to loom large”. “That’s what inspired The Daily Show“. Mr. Stewart added that he “may rejoin as a correspondent just to be a part of it!!!” Louis C.K. had also performed a set shortly before Stewart, and the two were seen chatting together after the show.

But in an interview a few months ago, Stewart put a bit more dismally the task of finding the amusing in the news. My jaw just kinda dropped. “I need to find my stride”. Stewart’s familiar with WWE because his son is a big fan and it’s why he got involved with WWE in the past with Rollins appearing on The Daily Show to taunt and then Stewart was on Raw on March 2.

Always questioning authority – whether politicians, corporate titans, media barons or, of course, puffed-up journalists – Stewart did what satirists have done for centuries: He seized on the absurdity embedded in accepted truth. He confirmed his departure earlier this year.
