Jon Stewart Hosts His Final Episode of ‘The Daily Show’ After More Than 16 Years

Jon Stewart hosted his final episode of The Daily Show on August 6, 2015 after more than 16 years on the show. During the special hour-long farewell episode, Stewart was joined by many of the past correspondents like Ed Helms, Steve Carell, Nancy Carell (formerly Walls), Kristen Schaal, and many more who all bid Stewart a fond #JonVoyage.

Former Daily Show correspondent and soon-to-be host of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert gave a particularly moving speech where he compared Stewart to Frodo Baggins, and then went off script to truly thank Stewart on behalf of all the correspondents.
