Anchor to Leave the Program Sometime “This Year.”
Feb 10, 2015 Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart has announced that he’ll be leaving The Daily Show sometime “this year.” The official announcement will come on tonight’s program from the man himself. In the meanwhile Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless had this to say:
“For the better part of the last two decades, I have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with Jon Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. Through his unique voice and vision, ‘The Daily Show’ has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come. Jon will remain at the helm of ‘The Daily Show’ until later this year. He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and will always be a part of the Comedy Central family.”
No word yet on who will replace Stewart or what his post-Daily Show endeavors will include. Most recently he directed the political thriller Rosewater. (Personally we’re voting for a political run. JS 4 Pres has a nice ring, doesn’t it?)
