VIDEO: Jon Stewart Explains Decision to Depart DAILY SHOW: Conservatives 'Killing Me'

On last night's THE DAILY SHOW, host Jon Stewart shared a comprehensive explanation about why he has decided to leave the show. The comic shared that Conservatives have suggested that his liberal lies have destroyed the Republican brand and have negatively impacted political discourse.

"In their mind the opposite of bad isn't good - the opposite of bad is conservative," Stewart explained, adding "Take it from someone who's been watching what they do For a blessedly almost over 16 years or so. Their chronically angry war for ideological purity , where every aspect of live becomes a two dimensional battle for america's soul - it ages you. Even watching it is killing me."

About the show:

One anchor, several correspondents, zero credibility.

If you're tired of the stodginess of the evening newscasts and you can't bear to sit through the spinmeisters and shills on the 24-hour cable news network, don't miss THE DAILY SHOW with Jon Stewart, the nightly half-hour series unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity or even accuracy.

The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning Daily Show takes a reality-based look at news, trends, pop culture, current events, politics, sports and entertainment with an alternative point of view. In each show, anchorman Jon Stewart and a team of correspondents, including Aasif Mandvi, John Oliver, Wyatt Cenac, Jason Jones and Samantha Bee, comment on the day's stories, employing actual news footage, taped field pieces, in-studio guests and on-the-spot coverage of important news events.

THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART -- it's even better than being informed.
