[ # ] Breaking news: Jon Stewart is signing off from The Daily Show
February 10th, 2015 under Comedy Central


Are you sitting down? First fans of Comedy Central’s news block lost Stephen Colbert to CBS and now they are losing Jon Stewart to retirement. The comedian announced his departure during tonight’s taping of The Daily Show according to Entertainment Weekly. What he has planned, we will not know until we tune in. But we do know he will not be leaving until later this year. When, we don’t know, but we should just appreciate whatever time we have left with him until he is just yesterday’s news.
Here is Comedy Central‘s statement about it:

“For the better part of the last two decades, I have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with Jon Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. Through his unique voice and vision, The Daily Show has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come. He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and will always be a part of the Comedy Central family.”

So where will all those people who tuned in to get their news from him, get their updates on today’s news? Maybe they will switch the channel to watch a real newsman like Brian Williams. You know, if NBC fires Williams, then maybe they can get him to take over The Daily Show? Seriously, I wonder who they will get to replace him? Will John Oliver be able to get out of his HBO contract to take over? Will they go with someone outside the franchise? Will they get rid of the show? Hey wait, David Letterman will be out of a job in May? And Jay Leno has been out of work since last February? I am still liking Brian Williams best for the job. Who is your money on? Or do you need some time to soak in the news?
To see Jon Stewart’s announcement, then
