Jon Stewart Announces His Last Guests

jon stewart last week announcement
It’s really happening. It’s not a summer nightmare. Jon Stewart just reveled his final guests for the Daily Show: Amy Schumer on Monday, August 3, Denis Leary on Tuesday, August 4, and Louis C.K.Wednesday August 5. Still no word for what John has planned for his final show but it seems like it’s a safe bet to say that Stephen Colbert will be there.  It’s also the first night of the Republican debates and that is oddly fitting

Last night on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart closed the show by announcing his guests for his final week of shows.  He’s been saying all along that he’s not planning a big giant build up of goodbyes, he planned to just hang out with some comedy friends, but it helps when your comedy friends are also the biggest “gets” in the universe of television guests.

“Next week is our last week. We’ve got Amy Schumer, we’ve got Denis Leary, we’ve got Louis CK, we’re gonna have a ball and I can’t wait to show my appreciation at all the support and enthusiasm that you guys have given this show all these years.”

John’s replacement Trevor Noah told reporters how much he respects Jon Stewart.

“The biggest pressure is living up to the expectations that Jon has for me,”Noah said. “Jon believes in me … for years we’ve been talking. I never dreamed I’d be sitting in this chair. I guess he knew something about me that I didn’t know at the time. There’s an immense pressure, personally. But it’s about the show first, it’s not about me.”

This is really happening.
