He has really great during his run, I dont see why people think CC was grooming him for something, the show never changed its name and there is really not a lot of places to go for mocking American bipartisanship.

Maybe cause Stewart's getting older and probably won't be with the show for another 10 years so someone will have to replace him or the show will end.
 
I've never found him funny, more annoying then anything. But since it's HBO, I'll give it a chance.

Plus if his upcoming movie is a success, he might be tempted to spend more time directing.
Keep in mind he is the executive producer of the Colbert Report. He's doing what he loves; works(tapes- work day is longer) 22min per day, four days per week, and three-weeks on one-week off. Plus holidays. He has time left in him. The movie is more about that particular story than Mr. Stewart's desire to be a filmmaker. I see him on for at least another ten years, maybe its just wishful thinking.
 
Jon Stewart is not that old. Why would they be grooming his replacement?

I loved John Oliver during his time at the helm. Wish him the best of luck.
 
Hopefully The Bugle continues. And I hope Andy, Chris and Tom gets on the show in some capacity.

John said that the Bugle will continue.

And yes, he should employ those guys in some capacity. At the minimum, he could throw some writing work to Andy and use him as a foreign correspondent.
