Jon Stewart is leaving The Daily Show.
The Comedy Central host informed his audience during Tuesday nights taping he is stepping down from his role hosting the late-night series, a post hes held since 1999.
EW obtained this statement from Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless:
For the better part of the last two decades, I have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with Jon Stewart. His comedic brilliance is second to none. Jon has been at the heart of Comedy Central, championing and nurturing the best talent in the industry, in front of and behind the camera. Through his unique voice and vision, The Daily Show has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come. Jon will remain at the helm of The Daily Show until later this year. He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and will always be a part of the Comedy Central family.
Much more to come

Brain Williams considers Jon to be a "journalist."
That explains so much more than he intended.
