JUST IN — Comedy Central confirms Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show

Oh no! What will all the leftwing cable news shows use as an intro every morning?! WHO can we depend on to take tired, overused jokes from Twitter and make a comedy segment out of them to entertain brain-dead pothead liberals? The country mourns.
Ending one of the most venerable and trusted careers in making a complete mockery of the news, Jon Stewart has announced that he is stepping down as host of The Daily Show. According to sources who were there (some of whom are already passing word along on social media), Stewart let the news slip at the taping of today’s episode, telling those in the audience that he’s retiring. No word yet on when exactly he’s leaving, whether this means he’s ending his time in the anchor chair to focus on being a Serious Movie Director now, or just how much this is Brian Williams’ fault. Presumably all of this information will be revealed in time—and delivered by Stewart himself tonight on your television.
I would caution against going on Twitter and making the “Jon Stewart to replace Brian Williams” joke, as it’s already been made a million times. Which would qualify for it to be then told again on the Daily Show.
