VIDEO: Jon Stewart: 'This Show Doesn't Deserve an Even Slightly Restless Host'
On last night's THE DAILY SHOW, Jon Stewart shared the news that he would be leaving his post as host of the show to an unsuspecting audience who had not yet heard the news that was already released to the media.
"We're still working out details, I don't have any specific plans, got a lot of ideas in my head, I'm gonna have dinner with my family on a school night," joked Stewart, adding "This show doesn't deserve an even slightly RESTLESS host."

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.
