As the final episode of The Daily Show approaches this coming Aug. 6, host Jon Stewart has unveiled that he's been running a program that aims at getting veterans who have returned home jobs in television. Stewart has been running the program for the past three years but has only now come out publicly about it. His program puts vets through a five-week boot camp and teaches them the behind-the-scenes features of the television industry.

Jon Stewart had some things to say about CNN coverage about the recent Baltimore riots as a result of the murder of Freddie Gray. Or, perhaps it’s best to say that he had some things to say as a result of CNN’s lack of coverage. Protests are currently raging through the city, making it look all too much like a war zone, and Stewart’s kin over at the Daily Show couldn’t help but notice that CNN decided to cover the White House Correspondents Dinner much, much more than the Baltimore riots.

Well, it's happened, folks. Jon Stewart has announced his final Daily Show episode, which means that things just got real. As much as we hate to admit it, the political satirist will soon be leaving his Comedy Central seat, the one he's held for the past 17 years, and give it up to young stand up comedian Trevor Noah. Hopefully, of course, he'll just give Noah a new chair, because otherwise that's pretty rank. Anyway, whether you're excited or not about Noah coming onboard – c'mon, give him a chance! – rest easy for now because we've still got a little over three months left with Stewart. Read More »
On February 10, comedian Jon Stewart announced that he was leaving The Daily Show after an amazing 17-year run. Following the announcement, many were wondering just why in the hell he would leave the Comedy Central vehicle, especially when it appeared that his reign as top political satirist never faltered.

That, and he didn't want to cover the 2016 Presidential Election. Read More »
If you're one of the many, many viewers of NBC's Today then you probably know exactly what Jon Stewart is talking about in the below video. The Daily Show host recently slammed the "news" program for kicking off a recent episode by showing viewers the horrific murder of South Carolina Resident Walter Scott, who was gunned down by Officer Michael Slager in footage released last week by the New York Times, right as the show kicked off. Of course, the center of Stewart's slam was the fact that 24-hour news outlets are showing these murder videos on a non-stop loop, which takes away from the impact they actually make on society.

While the world was busy bashing Jon Stewart's soon-to-be Daily Show replacement Trevor Noah, the current host of the Comedy Central vehicle was busy trying to figure out the right words for viewers and non-viewers alike. And on last night's episode, he seemed to figure it out. Stewart kicked off the episode immediately detailing the "kerfuffle on Twitter" that Noah found himself in the middle of, largely due to some "offensive" and "sexist" tweets he dished out to the public in the past.

With all the news surrounding comedian Trevor Noah and the announcement that he'll be taking over for Daily Show host Jon Stewart once he leaves his coveted Comedy Central seat, it looks like the main thing people are asking is: Who is this guy? And, well, maybe it's okay that none of us are too aware of the South African comedian. While far from obscurity, perhaps it's not such a bad thing that the soon-to-be face of "The Best F#@king News Team Ever" isn't a household name... yet. Whenever a late night talk show host leaves their position it seems the Internet goes crazy thinking up preposterous lists that put together a group of people who "We Think Should Be..." the next host. Most of it happens within hours of the host's announcement, and most of them are absolutely ridiculous. For example, we've seen lists with the likes of Louis C.K. Amy Poehler, Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and so many more attached since Stewart's announcement. In fact, was reported that Comedy Central initially considered asking C.K., Poehler and Schumer to take over for The Daily Show. Read More »

Following word that President Barack Obama is trying to ease our relationship with Cuba, comedian Conan O’Brien chose to head on over there to film an episode of his TBS late night show CONAN. Apparently it wasn’t as easy as he was hoping, but after some time he did indeed get in.
