After Jon Stewart announced his retirement from his longtime position of host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, rumors surrounding his replacement started bopping up.

The current Ferguson protests - which began as a result of the "no indictment" decision against former Officer Darren Wilson surrounding the murder of unarmed teen Michael Brown - have caused quite a bit of stir in the news these days, especially after a number of St. Louis Rams players sported the "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" gesture during one of their games. And following the St. Louis police asking the NFL the apology for the gesture (in which the Rams' coach basically told them to screw off), there's been much discussion about "black-on-black" crime, something The Daily Show with Jon Stewart easily picked up on.

So, we guess you could say that journalism was always in Munn’s blood… just not enough to do it for a living, of course. Now, however, the Aaron Sorkin-led series is coming to an end, and it looks like the 34-year-old actress has much to say on the topic! Read More »

Recently, it was announced that the Koch brothers purchased some advertising space on The Daily Show, which Stewart brought to light on last night’s episode.
