"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart announced he will be stepping down
from the Comedy Central show later this year, during the taping of the 2/10/15 program:

This comes soon after "The Daily Show"s longtime follow-up, "The Colbert Report", closed down in
December due to Stephen Colbert's departure to CBS to take over for David Letterman.

Comedy Central is already indicating that "The Daily Show" will continue with a new host
once Stewart leaves:

"The Daily Show" began in July 1996 hosted by Craig Kilborn, and Stewart has hosted since
Kilborn's departure in January 1999.

Agreed, he might do some more directing and maybe return to late night show. Heck I'm sure people are waiting for Leno to come back. I still can't believe Stewart is planning his exit. He has more journalistic integrity than most of those in the real news channels.

How Ginger Zee's husband as Stewart's replacement. Ben Aaron is pretty freaking funny.
