Stewart bids farewell to ‘Daily Show’

Chuck Barney Tribune News Service

Don’t miss

“The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”: This certainly doesn’t feel like a Moment of Zen. After 16 years, 19 Emmy Awards and more blistering one-liners than we can count, Stewart bids farewell to the fake newscast that gleefully skewered blowhards in the media and politics, and made an indelible mark on late-night television. Memo to Trevor Noah: You have some gigantic shoes to fill. 11 p.m. Thursday, Comedy Central.
