Nice video here of Stewart announcing he's leaving.

Doesn't know what he's going to do but has 'gotta lot of ideas'. Numeber one, he'll have dinner with his family, on a schoolnight! Who, he says, he has heard 'from multiple sources, are lovely people'.

I'm not able to watch the Daily Show very often but I have always enjoyed it.....such amazingly original humor! And Jon has spawned some incredible talent.....used to laugh myself silly watching JS with Colbert & Carell! I hate to see him leave because it's sort of like the end of an era. Can't wait to see what he does in the future.

(I will never forget JS's literal skewering of that guy that used to have a prime time financial show.....complete with all the annoying sound effects.....can't remember his name! Anyway, he is now relegated to a 3 am cable time slot!)

I am not sure I can face the coming 2016 Election without Jon Stewart. Since the 2000 election and the infamous "Hanging Chads" aftermath. As a bit of a political junkie, I can get pretty intense during a Presidential Election, but Jon never failed to make me laugh.

I will truly miss this man and this show. I wish him nothing but the best, but so sad to see him go.
