Jon Stewart Reveals His Final Guests

Trevor Noah is ready to take over The Daily Show from Jon Stewart in September.

The Washington Post reported that the last episode, which will air on August 6 is being kept under wraps.

“I honestly have nothing, other than sadness”, he said before sadly predicting that, even now, after yet another American atrocity, “we still won’t do jack–” to join together for a solution. The show would go on to garner substantial ratings boosts for election coverage in 2004 and 2008.

O’Reilly and Stewart have had a frenemy like relationship over the years.

Stewart took over hosting the show from Craig Kilborn in 1999, but in popular memory, he and “The Daily Show” became indispensable in the weird aftermath of the neck-‘n’-neck 2000 presidential election – “Indecision 2000”, as “The Daily Show” dubbed it.

During his 16-year tenure at The Daily Show, Stewart has carved out a space where comedy and politics co-exist more comfortably than ever before. “He had this idea for this show with Larry as the host, since his whole career has really built him toward that moment”. “You ran with such audacity”, he said. My jaw just kinda dropped.

The 52-year-old is saying goodbye more than 15 years after taking over as host back in 1999. In April 2014, this droll Brit debuted his own weekly comic-commentary show, “Last Week Tonight”, on HBO. Additionally, he has indulged sitting down with favorite guests – Paul Rudd, Jon Hamm, Jake Gyllenhaal – with interviews that deal less with what project they may be selling than how much Stewart will be missed. He confirmed his departure earlier this year. “So I don’t think that there’s any doubt that with his comedy” – the senator smiled and held up two fingers like quotation marks as he said “comedy” – “that he had an effect on the workings of government”. “I’ll miss [the process] where we’re all bereft and we’re having a very tough conversation in the morning, and then finding something by 4:30 or 5 in that rewrite room that still gives us that stupid, childlike jolt of joy”.
