The Daily Show will be without Jon Stewart this summer because he is taking 8 weeks off starting in June to direct a serious film he wrote called Rosewater. Comedy Central described the movie based on Maziar Bahari’s book as “a journalist’s story of his entry into the family business – government imprisonment and political incarceration in Iran.” So I guess you can say the show has really influenced him because when I saw him do his comedy before he did the Daily Show it was mostly about his cat.
And for those of you who are wondering who will be replacing him, that job is going to John Oliver. So we will still have a John hosting the show.
