1. I actually completely forgot he said he was only gonna do it as long as the election.

2. [removed]

3. i hope he goes back to where he was…and as soon as possible…thanks

4. Until you’re *90*

5. I have been enjoying the energy of the Daily Show again. I was just Ok with Trevor as the main host as his energy was not as upbeat as the mix of host I have been watching the last few weeks. I would be happy for CC to keep this format, and have one host be able to have the best day possible as host.

   Us old folks might have noticed that with Colbert, he was an amazing host but I definitely missed his side antics both at the Daily show and as main host.

6. Jon Stewart should just spin off a “The Weekly Show” and let The Daily Show have a regular single host.

7. Jon and the Daily Show forever! Forever 100 years, Jon and the Daily Show!

8. His interview with Steve Ballmer the other night was really good. Jon isn’t just political but he was talking government spending and democratic capitalist “theory” with a billionaire who deep dives the subject and was on there to promote his website on government spending. Really great Jon was able to go toe to toe with him in aspects and conversation. Just more supports the idea we need Jon for president.

9. I’d be ok with him leaving…to like, run for office. I think “Senator Stewart” has a nice ring to it

10. I like the mix of hosts and hope they keep up this format. It’s nice and keeps it from getting stale/any one voice getting burned out. Plus Jon can sort of pick and choose what from the week he wants to cover and not be beholden to just the day before’s news.

11. He must be needing money.

12. Good news. He IS the Daily Show. I could never understand how Trevor Noah lasted so long in the role — dude was and is beyond unfunny, IMO.

13. If the unthinkable happens (and it better not) then we’ll need Jon to keep us sane

14. i too would like millions for 1-2 days of work

15. I’m good with that.

16. We don’t need a daily political satire program. Cut it down to the weekly show. Keep John. Let him do whatever he wants. But try to avoid whole summers off like stern. That’s how you either in the vine.

17. I am actually enjoying the other hosts but it’s great to have him once a week. Never watched the show before but it’s finally being put on YouTube and on a streaming service in the UK.

18. Jon Stewart and John Oliver are the sole reasons why people don’t despise the new late night era
