Ending one of the most venerable and trusted careers in making a complete mockery of the news, Jon Stewart has announced that he is stepping down as host of The Daily Show.

According to sources who were there (some of whom are already passing word along on social media), Stewart let the news slip at the taping of today’s episode, telling those in the audience that he’s retiring.

No word yet on when exactly he’s leaving, whether this means he’s ending his time in the anchor chair to focus on being a Serious Movie Director now, or just how much this is Brian Williams’ fault. Presumably all of this information will be revealed in time—and delivered by Stewart himself tonight on your television.

Nooooo. Don't you leave me too, Jon!

 

[Busty]

Yowser.

I thought that he'd leave.., but no time soon, especially with the election right around 'the corner'.

Everyone seems to be jumping ship over at Viacom these days.

 

[TheAbsolution]

It's not fair. Jon needs to be here during the 2016 elections. Just imagine the jokes.

Too late for John Oliver to take over

 

[doctorcdcs]

whaatttttttt

 

[KDC720]

Wow. End of an era for sure.

 

[faceless007]

He's been hinting in some interviews for the last few months that he's been thinking about it since his contract's up, so I'm not totally surprised, but still it's going to be hard to see him go.

 

[TemplaerDude]

PORTLANDIA HAS BEEN RENEWED FOR TWO MORE SEASONS TODAY AND NOW THIS? FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT TODAY.

Don't get the first part.

 

[Rentahamster]

Let's see what CC can do to evolve and keep up the ratings.

 

[Mistle]

Damn just read this also. That sucks.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

He'd been going downhill for a while. Good opportunity to blood new people.

 

[Penguin]

I mean on one hand, he's been there for over 15 years

On the other hand, this stings... it stings badly.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Damn...

 

[explodet]

Disappointed as fuck, but this:

just how much this is Brian Williams’ fault

[methane47]

Wow that SUCKS.... hopefully he gets a show on FOX
