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.â€
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?

James Franco, Charlie Sheen, David Hasselhoff, William Shatner, Roseanne Barr, Bob Saget and Flavor Flav have all survived it, and soon we will find out if Justin Bieber can do the same. The singer is going to get his own Roast on Comedy Central, and you know he is going to cry like a Baby Baby when it is done.
The Beebs confirmed the news by Tweeting, “For years I have wanted Comedy Central to roast me. They said only if I provided them w/ more material so for a year now I have worked hard.” Boy, did he work hard at it. There are Calvin Klein ads, the arrests, the bleached blonde hair, his skateboarding fails, the time he peed in a bucket in a restaurant kitchen, the time he egged his neighbor’s house, his ability to walk into glass doors, his Selfies and so on.
As of now, the only thing Comedy Central confirms is that they are Roasting the Beebs. When it will be and who will be there is yet to be determined. I am hoping they get Undateable’s Chris D’Elia to be the Roastmaster, but since Ryan Seacrest broke the news I think he will get the honor. I hope they fill the dais with past teen idols like Rick Springfield, Donny Osmond, Leif Garret, David Cassidy, John Stamos, Joe and/or Nick Jonas and and Scott Baio to name a few. You need an older dame and Cloris Leachman has proven she is up for the task. If not, maybe they can get Selena Gomez or Kim Kardashian? Who do you want to Roast him?
ESPN added a new segment to SportsCenter called Awesome Video Segment and it looks a lot like Tosh.0‘s Web Redemption segment. Well Daniel Tosh didn’t take too kindly to them appearing have copied him, so he decided to do his own version of Sports Science. A segment I guess they have, I wouldn’t know because I don’t watch. But I would totally watch the Comedy Central one every time it airs.
So I think we can all agree that Daniel Tosh won this battle of words; but if ESPN was take him outside for a fight, they would totally destroy his scrawny a$$. Kind of like in school when the nerds (not that Tosh is one) would win in the classroom and the jocks outside of it.
Jon Hamm was on @midnight the other night and he only did it because he loves the show and all things internet. You know what he loves most about the internet besides gay p0rn, he loves all the cats you can find on there. The Mad Man told Chris Harrison, “Dogs may be man’s best friend, but cats are clearly man’s best snuggle buddy.” Oh, to be a cat right about now.
Sorry, I don’t know what he said after that, so you will just have to watch.
BTW what is going on in his crotch area? Like a cat is drawn to a ball of yarn, I am drawn to his ba…
This coming Tuesday on Comedy Central at 10p, Daniel Tosh is going to do the unimaginable on Tosh.0. Daniel is going to air a family friendly episode. That’s right, there will be no puking, bodily injuries, strong language and little or no sexual dialogue or situations.
How he is going to be able to that because his show anything but PG-13, I don’t know. That is what is going to make it so very interesting. I have a feeling it will be like the G-Rated version of Cabin Fever that is a special feature on the DVD. The horror movie’s family version only lasts a few seconds, and I don’t know how Tosh will last longer than that. In other words, I think his clean version of the show will last as long as, I assume, he does in bed. You know wham, bam, tha…done!
Seriously though, I think this a brilliant stunt for the show. I know I will be watching, but then again I always am. Are you going to check it out?
Finally, I really hope that because Tosh.0 is going to be so very innocent that Brickleberry will be even raunchier to make up for it. Although, is that even possible?
