Stewart and colbert were the only ones actually calling out Washington for hypocracy and lies. With their voices silenced now their influence is going to be lost.

the Daily Show existed before Jon Stewart as host, and they'll continue afterwards.

It's a different beast now though, that's for sure. Jon made it about politics where as before they covered all the absurdity.

Cenk Ugar would really kick some ass. I think the daily show will continue but with a new host.

Don't despair we have a lot on talent on the left who could step in Jon's shoes.

South Park and Key and Peele, at least. Too bad I can't get Comedy Central anymore, since SuddenLink and Viacom had to be scumbags to their customers.
