Laughs and Some Tears as Jon Stewart Hosts Last 'Daily Show'

There were plenty of jokes and a few tears Thursday as "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart appeared on his last show, ending a 16-year run that established him as one of America's foremost satirists of politicians and the media.

"Guess what?" Stewart said. "I've got big news. This is it."

Stewart's final show began as what was billed as a report on the first Republican presidential debate, but which quickly turned into a reunion of correspondents who have appeared on the program over the years — including Lewis Black, Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Aasif Mandvi, John Oliver, and Stephen Colbert.
