Jon Stewart ends his hosting duties on Thursday.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart may be ending on Thursday, but the show’s iconic set will live on in Washington, D.C.’s Newseum.
“We are thrilled to accept the donation of these artifacts to the Newseum collection,” Cathy Trost, senior vice president of exhibits and programs at the Newseum, said in a news release. “They are part of America’s cultural and media history, telling an important story about how political satire and news as humor made ‘The Daily Show’ a trusted news source for a generation.”

How do you tell the difference?
Hope it’s in the cellar wih all the rest of the JUNK.
It should be called the Museum of Leftwing Hackery!
Newseum...is that like a mausoleum for leftist hacks?
I was with a group of all ages over Memorial Day weekend all who were lamenting the end and how this is where they get their news. Because it was family and their friends, I didn’t want to make a situation ugly, but I just say their incredibly saddened that so many will accept willful ignorance but spout their opinions on important issues. It’s depressing lately realizing we are completely surrounded personally and professionally by such willful ignorance. Social media has magnified that times 1000, and God forbid a conservative post anything with an opinion. Then, the world is ending.
Jon Stewart... NEWS?.... lol....
Good, that’s where it belongs since the Newseum is a joke as well.
Same here - laudable that you bit your tongue!
Comedic joke news dumbs down “viewers” understanding of issues to even less than those who bother to “read” mainstream media programming.
Newseum was Neuhart or something like that memorial to himself. Charges a lot to see special exhibits.
As for Stewart’s desk? Who gives a crap? Ernie Pyle’s pipe and typewriter, yes.
My missing MACV press card from So. Vietnam. Yes.
Nauseum is more like it.
In Washington on 9/12/09, I spotted the Newseum not far from our demonstration. The thing about journalism is the presumptuousness of claiming that journalists are objective. That is a vagrant opinion with no visible means of support. It floats there in midair, supported by nothing but the desire of people to believe:The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.Thus, we have sheeple who want to be led, and aren’t careful enough by whom - and we have journalists who want to lead - and have no compunction about vindicating Alexander Hamilton’s view thatThe man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect . . .
The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
“The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests.”
That is how I feel a lot of the time too.
I’m proud to say I never watched his show.
Fake news room for Neuseum.
Now that the communists rule, it isn’t chic to demand communism every night on TV.
Fox News’ Roger Ailes Sends Off Jon Stewart: “I Actually Think He Doesn’t Dislike Me”
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/fox-news-roger-ailes-sends-813439?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=THR%20Breaking%20News_now_2015-08-05%2017%3A36%3A46_ehayden&utm_term=hollywoodreporter_breakingnews
ZING!
The Fox News chief added: “As he faces the end of his career, he’s beginning to wonder: ‘Is this as popular as I’m ever going to get? Is this as much power as I’ll ever have? The one person I could never get rid of was Roger Ailes. I tried. I did everything I could.’ This was all a plea to his lefty friends. I think he’s disappointed that he didn’t accomplish that goal, and we, of course, supplied him with half of his comedy. It’s just a matter of disappointment.”
