It's over. After 16 years as host of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart ended his legendary run with the show he made an international sensation.

Jon Stewart ends his seventeen-year run at The Daily Show tonight. His legacy lives on, not just within the context of the show, but in the countless stars that Stewart has helped launch.
