re: Jon Stewart is quitting The Daily Show (new host: Trevor Noah)
Damn that sucks. I don't watch him on a regular basis but I've always liked him a lot and think his show provides better coverage of the news than most actual news programs do. I wonder if he'll move on to a new show eventually or if he's just going to do more directorial work or what.

The article says he told his audience during today's taping, so tonight's episode should show the announcement.

I wonder how long HBO locked up John Oliver.
No one can replace Stewart, but Oliver is the only one who can come close. I'd also rather see him 4 nights a week, not just 1.

Since Jon took over, the show has had a method of "promoting from within" for making spin-offs and guest hosts, but it's possible that they may go outside the existing correspondents for this hiring job.

I think he caught the movie bug. I have not seen Rosewater yet, but wouldn't be surprised if he has film/tv director/writer jobs lined up.

I hear Brian Williams is free to take over...
Although I'm more interested in seeing what Stewart does next rather than who'll replace him. I'm assuming he'll at least do some stand-up again - it's in his blood.

While no one can argue against the fact that TDS is a liberal leaning program, I have to give them credit on attacking all news channels/networks regardless of "political affiliation". Even last night's episode was evidence of that during the piece about Brian Williams.

Seems like only yesterday when he took over for Craig Kilborn...

For me, Jon Stewart's version of The Daily Show started with the first episode after 9/11.

Between this and Brian Williams being suspended for six months, I'm worried where I'll get my fake news.

Wasn't there a rumor not too long ago that Stewart was being considered for one of the broadcast network's news shows? I'm sure that was just rumor, but with the Brian Williams news and now this, it gets a little more interesting.

I preferred Craig Kilborn, but John Stewart grew on me over time. This sucks, will be sad to see him go...

Nightly News - Chuck Todd
Meet the Press - Stewart
Daily Show - Brian Williams
I would love it.
Must not watch alot of MSNBC.
