The eulogies have been delivered, the set disassembled and the echo of Jon Stewart’s parting “bullshit-is-everywhere” monologue is fading.
What now? After 16 years as America’s leading comedy/political TV satirist, Stewart leaves no clear successor even as America enters a presidential election season overflowing with satirical promise.
On the first day of his final week at The Daily Show, Jon Stewart really went off on his most frequent foe: Fox News.

Jon Stewart returned from break tonight to keep running out the clock by shredding Donald Trump over his attack on John McCain‘s military service…
Jon Stewart tells Obama: You don’t have much time left to put us all in FEMA camps
Obama Tells Jon Stewart: You ‚Cannot Leave The Show‘
Jon Stewart tonight sat down with President Obama for the last time, talking everything from Iran to America’s war mentality to how much the media drives the president crazy.
They bantered a bit about “senioritis” and the president said, “I can’t believe that you’re leaving before me. In fact, I’m issuing a new executive order that Jon Stewart cannot leave the show.”
Comedy Central‘s Jon Stewart took aim at Fox News‘ coverage of Showing a series of clips from the news channel‘s coverage of the elections, Stewart mocked Fox for focusing on President Obama‘s reluctance to call to congratulate Netanyahu.
“Really? You find it interesting that a foreign country’s prime minister who came to Congress against the White House’s wishes and shits on a nuclear deal the president spent years working on, wouldn’t receive an immediate post-election atta boy!”
Jewish right-wing activist accuses The Daily Show host Stewart, also Jewish, of ‚working for the other side under the guise of comedy.‘
After announcing he is leaving The Daily Show, Catie Lazarus spoke with Jon Stewart about directing Rosewater, leaving Comedy Central, and being fired from Woolworth by his brother.
Stewart to leave show later this year; replacement host for Comedy Central‘s show has not yet been named.
Strong contenders for the 2016 race begin to emerge, John Boehner invites Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress, and Bob Odenkirk discusses „Better Call Saul.“
Jon Stewart found it just a little bit odd that President Obama dropped everything to go to Saudi Arabia for the late king’s funeral but couldn’t be bothered to go to the Paris unity rally.

Jon Stewart’s coverage of “March of the Parisians” on the Daily Show the other night was fantastic. His guest was Jimmy Carter, who was his fabulous self, but for an episode packed with multiple hysterically executed clips (Hassan, the ‘denounciest’ Muslim ever! – see below ), for me at least – Mohammad Saba’aneh‘s flash appearance stole the show. Did you recognize him?
After a brief introduction a mini montage of the crowd pencil-photos appeared with Stewart claiming “the march gave Parisians a chance to introduce a new icon of liberty”, that pencils were “the new symbol of freedom of expression was everywhere.”

Immediately I thought of Saba’aneh’s timeless 2011 Freedom of Expression cartoon we featured in our first article about Saba’aneh when he was detained by Israel back in February 2013.
Stewart emphasized the flagrant hypocrisy of world leaders attending the march, whose regimes are complicit in gross violations of human rights pertaining to the suppression of free speech. Ticking off the names countries — Russia, Egypt, Turkey, blogger-flogging Saudi Arabia, he referenced Israel (renowned for the arrests, imprisonment, and murder of journalists) with a quote “Palestinian cartoonist…work landed him in an Israeli Prison for five months” .. all of the sudden the image jumped off my screen, of the very person on my mind just seconds before; Mohammad Saba’aneh.
Jon Stewart on The Colbert Report – November 21st 2014 – Full Interview
Fight power with humor, Stewart’s body of jokes seems to scream, as he relentlessly bangs away at his targets – chief among them Republicans. Not that the Dems get spared his lash.
As for national and foreign leaders who don’t find him funny: “If your regime is not strong enough to handle a joke, then you don‘t have a regime.”
The idea that any criticism of Israel at all is “anti-Semitic” is one that has been pushed here in the United States for decades. But Jon Stewart, himself a Jew, responded to allegations of anti-Semitism leveled against him with a statement that even Fox News would find it hard to misconstrue: “Go Fuck Yourself.”
(22. Juli) „Many have accused Jon Stewart of being pro-Hamas for expressing sympathy for the residents of Gaza, where more than 500 people have been killed — including at least 100 children — in recent fighting with Israel.
So on Monday night‘s „Daily Show,“ just about the entire roster of correspondents popped up to scream at him any time he uttered the word „Israel.“
There is an absurdity in dogma and rigidity and even that question has dogma, but on the other side. It’s so interesting to me that people want to define who is a Jew and who is not. And normally that was done by people who weren’t Jewish but apparently now it’s done by people who are, and I find that very interesting. It’s more than nationalism.
You can’t criticize Israel, right?
No. And you can’t observe (Judaism) in the way you want to observe. And I never thought that that would be coming from brethren. I find it really sad, to be honest.
I know the feeling.
Yeah, and you see it and it is pretty vicious. And how are you lesser? How are you lesser? It’s fascistic. And the idea that they can tell you what a Jew is. How dare they?
(13. Npvember) „The Daily Show“ host Jon Stewart on Thursday denounced as „fascistic“ the pressure that right-wing Jews put on other Jews to prevent them from criticizing Israel or expressing their Judaism in controversial ways.
On Thursday night’s Daily Show, host Jon Stewart continued to try and make heads or tails of America’s actions in Israel. Despite the fact that Secretary of State John Kerry has repeatedly tried to broker a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, Stewart finds the nation’s actions a little confusing.
Our favorite Jewish late-night talk show host tackled the violence in the Middle East last night — with a few sharp-tongued yucks aimed at Israel.

Dear Jon:
I am an independent climate researcher and regular contributor at the award-winning science blog WattsUpWithThat. I am also the author of three ebooks on global warming, climate change and the poor performance of climate models. I am writing to you about your January 6, 2014 episode (full episode here) of The Daily Show. It began with “The Global Warming Hoax” and “War on Carbon” clips, which ran consecutively when aired.
You want Clipbait? We got Clipbait! On The Daily Show, it’s Jon Stewart vs. a million and six Fox News clips, and on The Colbert Report, Stephen has a field day with Chris Christie’s press conference.
As Politico reported on Wednesday, Beale was sentenced on Wednesday for his Ferris Bueller-like stint at the agency, during which he got away with skipping work with pay for two-and-a-half years after convincing his superiors, his wife, and his friends that he was an undercover CIA agent. Beale also scored a preferred parking spot at his office by falsely claiming he contracted malaria while serving in the Vietnam War.
“Best. Pope. Ever.” raved MSNBC last week. “World’s Greatest Father,” echoed Jon Stewart. It’s almost as if liberal talk-show hosts knew that the world’s major Jesuit publications, led by America magazine and Italy’s La Civiltà Cattolica, were about to stun the world.
Famed atheist Richard Dawkins appeared on “The Daily Show” last night to discuss his new book, “An Appetite for Wonder,” and his views on science and religion. From doubling down on his contention that “we are apes” to attempting to explain what happens after human beings die, the evolutionary biologist touted some of his familiar talking points — but host Jon Stewart didn’t just sit there nodding in agreement.
SCHEUER: The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States….only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them.
On tonight‘s Daily Show, Jon Stewart returned from vacation feeling a little blue about the problems currently facing the United States, like the battle over the budget in Washington. But before Stewart could expound on his point, correspondent John Oliver presented him with a recap of Rupert Murdoch‘s News of the World scandal–a friendly reminder that the British will always find a way to out-shame us tepid Americans.
