People have definitely seen this coming. He said on Stern awhile ago that he was burnt out from the show. And when he stepped away to direct that movie, the writing was pretty much on the wall.
Definitely going to suck for Comedy Central. Not sure who they would find to replace him.

No way Oliver leaves his show on HBO.
I love his new show, it is awesome. He can do the same format, but longer and no beeping. And, it is HBO.
I didn't see him leaving coming. I knew he might step aside eventually, but didn't see it this year.
No idea who fills his slot, or if comedy central goes in a new direction.

It'll be an affirmative action hire and then the show will die.

Like that black dude that took over for Colbert? And yeah it's obvious he doesn't have the same energy he used to, show has became progressively more about promoting a liberal agendasleeper;1704991 wrote:It'll be an affirmative action hire and then the show will die.

I don't see them being able to replace him and keeping the show, which is what I read they planned on doing.

People said the same thing when Kilborn left the Daily Show for the Late Late Show. They'll be able to replace him and keep the show. The format may change a bit, but they'll be able to keep it.Glory Days;1705207 wrote:I don't see them being able to replace him and keeping the show, which is what I read they planned on doing.

coincidentally, there is an opening for an anchor at NBC....considering it's a joke of a network, he'd fit right in.

Fair enough. Maybe a better analogy would be: that's what everyone said when Johnny Carson was leaving the Tonight Show.Glory Days;1705407 wrote:yeah but Kilborn had the job for 2 years, not 17 like Stewart.

Actually though Brian Williams is a pretty funny guy and is awesome when he's been on the Daily Show for interviews

Makes sense, they both can continue to make stuff up and editorialize the news with cleaver editing and we would not have to worry about fact checking.GoPens;1705619 wrote:Stewart take NBC news, Brian Williams take the Daily Show. Problem solved.

I saw today Trevor Noah will replace Stewart. He has only been on the show a few times and I haven't found one of his bits funny.

Also had sent anti Semitic tweets in the past. Sleeper was right again, affirmative action hire.Glory Days;1717474 wrote:I saw today Trevor Noah will replace Stewart. He has only been on the show a few times and I haven't found one of his bits funny.
