Watch Jon Stewart Announce He’s Leaving ‘The Daily Show’

Well, here it is: Jon Stewart’s official announcement that he’s leaving his longtime post at The Daily Show this year. Stewart waited until the final few moments of last night’s show to explain to the audience why he’s leaving: “You know, I’m not going to be here and try and sum up what this place has meant to me over the years. I couldn’t do that,� he said. “And we have plenty of time, and I’ve got a myriad of people to thank, and we’ll get to that over time. I’m not going anywhere tomorrow. But this show doesn’t deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you.�
