After more than 16 years in his post as Comedy Central’s The Daily Show host, Jon Stewart closed the chapter on his late-night anchor-in-chief duties Thursday.
Hollywood A-listers, including Conan O’Brien, Ed Helms and Jennifer Grey, took to social media to say goodbye to Stewart ahead of the episode’s airing.
See the posts below.
Congratulations to Jon Stewart on an incredible achievement in comedy. Sadly, now it’s back to getting all my news from Geraldo #DailyShow
