Jon Stewart changed my life. Stewart’s final night is set for Thursday, and it’s bound to be a legendary and emotional adieu. Countless reaction shots of Stewart’s face grimacing in mock (or real) outrage.

The former Alaska governor was a frequent target of Stewart’s barbs during the 2008 presidential election and later. His ratings never surpassed those of other late-night shows, but that is a tough measure in the age of the Internet. Did you forget who watches CNN?
That makes me nearly want to go to Arby’s for lunch… nearly. “I started when I was 14 and I’m 31 now”. Journalist Vladimir Duthiers attempted to spin Stewart as bipartisan, redefining the deeply liberal comic: “On his own show, Stewart used his satirical anchor chair to lob bombs at the media and politicians alike”. “The recovery is a dream realized, and that is Martin Luther King’s dream”. Past “Daily Show” correspondents are likely to show up. On the content of his show: “It’s not fake news”.
Winstead, a longtime friend of Stewart’s, had already left the program by the time he succeeded Kilborn in 1999.
Despite his longevity, Stewart wasn’t the show’s first host.
It was Mitt Romney’s 47% comments that helped Stewart come to the conclusion that Fox News would be better off named “Bullshit Mountain”. And he really went after them in a video about their ridiculous coverage of the missing Malaysia Airlines fight 370 in 2014.
Lemon was lampooned when he covered a snowstorm in New York from a vehicle tricked out with cameras, dubbed the “blizzardmobile”.
What can we expect from the last episode with Stewart? “Blizzardmobile? Settle down, Batman – it’s a Ford Explorer”. “We’re interested in the style of the show, and the idea that you can use jokes to tell the truth”.
Seeing as how tonight is the final episode of Stewart on the Daily Show, you might be craving more Stewart thinkpieces, longreads, and graphi-cultural ephemera. “I think he will do something after this and we’ll probably be proud of that too”.
Stewart performed a 15-minute parody of right wing radio and television personality Glenn Beck which culminated in him accusing Bert from Sesame Street of being a “pigeon-worshipping felt tyrant whose draconian shariah law allows for neither loud noise nor rubber duckies”.
“I’ll leave this show knowing that most of the world’s problems have been solved by us, The Daily Show“, Stewart said in a hilarious moment last week. I think this is a pretty tough country. “I don’t really fit into anything”.
“I’ve seen him over 400 times”, he said. So if you were to say ‘John McCain is a 180 years old and looks like a raison.’ Do I believe he’s 180 years old? Powell said he found out about “The Daily Show” through the Internet while still in high school.

“I think she just stood above the other six people on the stage”. “They’re all on all of these different channels and they all owe a lot of their success to Jon Stewart“.
