Malas noticias para los fans de Jon Stewart y es que se ha confirmado su salida de The Daily Show, aunque no se especificó la fecha exacta y si se aclaró que el programa continuará con un nuevo conductor. La noticia fue dada a conocer por Comedy Central a través de un comunicado que pueden ver a continuación.
For the better part of the last two decades, we have had the incredible honor and privilege of working with John 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.”
La noticia viene después de la salida de The Cobert Report el año pasado y de que se estuviera diciendo que Stewart quería dedicarse a otras cosas.
Cabe recordar que el programa empezó en 1999 y ha ganado 20 premios Grammy.
