Jon Stewart says goodbye to “The Daily Show;” what can we expect?

During Stewart’s tenure, “The Daily Show” became more sharply political, satirizing the likes of Fox News, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, among numerous targets. That proved to be the vehicle to bring in a long succession of personalities whose careers were jump-started by Stewart when they were on the show, like Aasif Mandvi, Lewis Black, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Rob Corddry, Samantha Bee and Wyatt Cenac.

“Our banter with Jon over the last couple of years just goes to show that if you can keep your sense of humor while staying true to your brand, you can turn what could have been a negative experience in our favor”, Arby’s said in a statement to the Star Tribune, calling its advertising effort “authentic and unapologetic”. During the summer of 2013, he guest-hosted while Stewart took time off to direct a movie.

Stewart’s appearance on CNN’s “Crossfire” was a masterwork of deconstructive criticism, and it led to the cancellation of that show weeks later after Stewart called upon the hosts to “stop hurting America”.

And his show wasn’t just amusing. ‘Hey Trevor, can you give me 20 more minutes, ‘ Stewart politely asked the South African comedian. He played a handful of retrospective montages that emphasized his shortcomings, spotlighting awkward highlights from his interviews, his dissonant singing voice and his inability to make an impact on news events.

Fox News Channel chairman Roger Ailes, whose network remained intact despite Stewart’s “pulverizing” blows, said that Stewart was a brilliant comedian and nice guy who has a bitter view of the world. We just thought, ‘My God!

Noah appeared on Stewart’s finale with measuring tape, jokingly checking out the set. For the last decade and a half, Stewart and The Daily Show have acted like a kind of national sewage treatment plant, taking the most fetid, dishonest, and polarizing aspects of our public discourse and filtering them into something that is, at least, entertaining.

“I’ve been doing this too long”, he said, announcing his departure in February. Here’s the thing, Jon, you said to me and to many other people here years ago, never to thank you because we owe you nothing.
