Jon Stewart is leaving the Daily Show! :o

The 2016 election will be weird without Stewart. :weep: All hail John Oliver. :worthy:

I liked Craig better anyway, though I don't dislike Stewart. 

I did to.  Craig took his job far less seriously though it was far less serious of a job back in the 90s.

John Oliver is taking over?  Fantastic, love him.

I don't know, I doubt it. He has a good gig at HBO.

Oliver's show is far deeper than the Daily Show, I think.
Yet funny.

I liked Kilborn because he had that Upper Midwest smartass sense of humor (sort of along the lines of MST3K).  Plus he had a pretty good jump shot.

I like whenever he does a bit making fun of the UK he gets the standard 'Fuck you yank!' youtube comments.  And here I thought Brits were so sensitive to accents.

I thought his humor was more juvenile, which suited me fine being in my early 20s at the time.

Pretty sure they are not retiring for good.  Especially Colbert.

Yeah but I don't think he is going to be his character.

Yeah, the right wing pundit is gone. The Real Colbert is taking over Letterman in May(iirc).
