    I agree with the above posted article. I liked Jon stewart. Especially in that Adam Sandler movie. But he's not a news guy. He didn't report the news. He was a comedian that made fun of the news, and he did it well. Politics in particular. Replacing him will be as easy as he replaced Craig Kilbourne. Last I heard, the writers aren't leaving the show.

    But one must also admit that, while being a comedian, he made some VERY potent points and insights about current events. Sometimes his interpretation and presentation of news events, and of the news itself, were far more insightful and full of truth than anything we'd see from the talking heads on the real news.

    I appreciated Stewart calling out the hypocrisy of government and talking heads. Christie spewed nonsense on 4/20 about hammering down on legal marijuana as government needs to protect the flock. Yet a year earlier he tried to legalize gaming in New Jersey saying its not governments job to protect the flock and people need to make decisions. While Stewart was just the mouth piece I did not see any other news organizations playing those 2 clips side by side. As we go into a election cycle people should see/hear those things about all the candidates on both sides.

    The end is nigh!

    Comedy Central is going to take a huge financial hit in advertising, losing both Colbert and Stewart in the same year. Larry Wilmore's rating were down 40% from what Colbert had after his first three months on the air.

    Comedy central is airing random shows leading up to the finale. They just aired the post 9/11 show. Good stuff. The bill O'Reilly show is at 530.

    I just finished watching the final show. I was disappointed when he said "this is my moment of zen." I knew the show was over. I didn't want that show to end. The show was great. I didn't watch the daily show as much as a watched David Letterman and obviously Stewart was around half the time as him, but I feel sad that he left the show. It really makes me feel old. I was 21 when he took over for Kilbourne.

    Good job Jon. You did good buddy. Nothing you will ever do will be as successful as the daily show.
