Jon Stewart is Leaving “The Daily Show”
Jon Stewart announced last night that he’s leaving “The Daily Show” later this year. He said, quote, “In my heart I know it is time for someone else to have [this] opportunity.” Even Jon doesn’t know when it’ll be. He said his contract is up in September, but that’s not necessarily when he’ll go. As for what he plans to do, he said, he has “a lot of ideas.” And he added, quote, “I’m gonna have dinner on a school night with my family, who I have heard through multiple sources are lovely people.”
Thank you Jon. pic.twitter.com/yPdxjnkuLw
