Jon Stewart announced that August 6 will be his departure date as host of Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
“I mentioned to you earlier that I would keep you up to date on any new information about the transition of the program and all those other things,” Stewart said on Monday night’s episode.
“My last ‘Daily Show’ program will be August the 6th. I will be wearing a suit, I will more than likely be showered,” he said, then joked: “I am sorry … I will be wearing overalls and I won’t shower.
The popular anchor of the long-running satirical news show announced in February that he would exit “The Daily Show” after 16 years on the Comedy Central news desk.
