Jon Stewart Says Goodbye to ‘Daily Show’ Correspondent Samantha Bee [VIDEO]

Now that Jon Stewart has announced he's leaving The Daily Show, and even set a date for it, it looks like the rest of the crew is jumping ship. Well, at least a couple. Recently, the political satirist said goodbye to his eldest correspondent, Samantha Bee.

Bee joined the Comedy Central vehicle back in 2003, and has since delivered an astonishingly hilarious 12 years of appearances on the show. Last week, Stewart kicked off Act 2 of his show stating that he's "been down this road a few times this year. Each time, it's not easy."

He then announced that it was the final show of the "longest-serving member of the greatest f*cking news team."

After discovering her in Canada, the Daily Show crew tossed her in their trunk and brought her down to New York City – or so Stewart says. Whatever it is, it's pretty safe to say that Daily Show viewers are forever grateful.

Take a look at Stewart's goodbye to Samantha Bee below:

If you listen closely, you'll be able to hear the comedian tell Bee, "I know you hate this." To which she jokes (maybe?), "I do." #RealTalk!

Tonight a retrospective of my 12(!) years @TheDailyShow. Prediction: my salty tears short circuit the NYC electrical grid: full blackout.

After the episode, fans took to Twitter to express how much they'll miss Bee.
