 Re: Jon Stewart is leaving this year
Wow. In a short span, late night lost Jay Leno, Arsenio Hall, Craig Ferguson, David Letterman and Chelsea Handler, while Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert left previous posts to upgraded shows. Now Jon Stewart.
So I assume this is a move to a new job in filmmaking? He doesn't really have anywhere else to go, I assume. Not that he would want to host a conventional talk show.
Also, CC is fucked. The Nightly Show is tanking. It's hard to see The Daily Show going without Stewart, and even tougher to see political satire basically disappear, but no matter who is chosen to replace him, it won't be as good.

 Re: Jon Stewart is leaving this year
FUCK
Though it would be funny, however highly unlikely, if Jon showed up on the Late Late Show as a host after Corden bombs. Could make the show a mix of Tom Synder's Late Late Night and current late night shows.
Yeah so who fills in even if they do move forward with The Daily Show? Could Joel McHale do it?

I could, but it would come with a banning. African is bad enough. I'd rather be called a paedophile than an African.

 Re: Jon Stewart is leaving this year
I would guess there's going to be a shift away from political satire, at least in its current format, in the next few years. The loss of Colbert Report is pretty big, and a Daily Show without Jon Stewart is going to be rough. Do they try to go with a big name to sustain the franchise's popularity, or go with a name and hope to stick with it through the rough patches?

 Re: Jon Stewart is leaving this year
This really SUCKS
Faux news is AWFUL but so is CNN, MSNBC- all are equally terrible. Calling out just faux news makes you look kinda idiotic.

 Re: Jon Stewart is leaving this year
MSNBC told me about Faux News, so leave them out of it. Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes are almost as good as Jon Stewart ar destroying Faux News!
Only Repugnicans can be idiotic and since I am not a 1 percenter or Repugnican, I cannot be an idiot. Down with White male privilege and manspreading and mansplaining.

Never found him funny.

 Re: Jon Stewart is leaving this year
Norm would've been perfect back in 1999. Now I don't think he'd want to do it.
Whoever has to fill Jon's shoes has pretty big shoes to fill. It's a shame to see him leave.
