It's the end of an era: Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show.
The AV Club is reporting that Stewart told the audience at today's taping that he's stepping down from the Comedy Central news show he's hosted since 1999. No word yet on when he'll be leaving, or who might replace him. (Perhaps Stewart himself will deliver the news on tonight's broadcast.)
Since stepping in for Craig Kilborn a decade and a half ago, Stewart has made The Daily Show the home for TV's top political satire, cultivating an enviable roster of tongue-in-cheek correspondents that went on to shine in Hollywood (Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Ed Helms) and racking up an astounding ten straight Emmy wins for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Series from 2003 to 2012.
