As you probably know, this week Jon Stewart ended his reign as the king of T.V. fake news after 17 years as the host of The Daily Show, which he took over from Craig Kilborn in 1999 and transformed from a show focused on entertainment news to a show that focused more on politics and government. During its 17 years on the air, this show has helped launch the careers of many comedians including Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver, and became the primary news source for many college-aged kids. While I'm sad to lose another weeknight television staple from my daily watching queue, I am eager to see what new host, Trevor Noah, and Stephen Colbert's CBS show will bring to television.
