There's really nothing new in the interview, but it's somewhat refreshing to see Jon Stewart realize that it's basically just downhill from here for him at The Daily Show. He could've pulled a Letterman or a Leno and keep going for another 10-15 years after he peaked, but this will allow him to do new and exciting…

A weekly Conan show could be brilliant. His show is less consistent than it was 10 years ago, but there are still flashes of absolute comic brilliance and weirdness that's unmatched anywhere else. Narrowing the show to a week could be great.

I was at Conan's screening of his Cuba special, and he was asked whether he would ever consider doing a travel show or at least more Cuba-like episodes where he spends the entire episode outside of the studio. He said he's intrigued by the idea of doing a travel show, and that once he's done with late night he might…

Exactly. No one thought Stewart was about to become one of the greatest political satirists of all-time.

Nobody will ever be Jon Stewart, just like nobody will ever be Johnny Carson or Walter Cronkite. If you hold anyone to that standard, they will likely fail. So, give Trevor Noah a shot, but with relaxed expectations. Burying him before he even starts is asinine.

Watch his "African American" stand-up show on Netflix (probably somewhere on YouTube, too). A few dumb voices he uses aside, the jokes are funny and pretty smart.

His stand-up tends to be much smarter and funnier than these bad jokes.

Agreed. The problem with many on the left, including myself sometimes, is that anytime someone says something even vaguely racist, homophobic, etc., they are automatically labeled a villain and should be outcast by society. That's not how things work. Opening up a dialogue on these issues is helpful. Condemning people…

His comedy about race politics is some of the freshest and most interesting from any comedian I've seen in a while, though. Seems kind of far from basic, at least in what I've seen of his stand-up. (The tweets, on the other hand…)

Agreed. I watched his "African American" show on Netflix last night, and the entire time I was thinking this guy could work well on The Daily Show. Unfunny, hacky tweets aside, he seems like he could be a good fit.

His stand-up is generally smarter and funnier than his Twitter. It's almost like two different people.

The jokes are pretty unfunny, but they wouldn't be out of place in most comedians' sets. Plus, he was telling them at a time when he was known only in South Africa, which, like most of the world, does not ridicule its comedians as much as Americans for not being politically correct.

It could be Jon Stewart's last, too. His contract is up in September, and he hinted in his interview with New York magazine that he's seriously considering not coming back.

Stewart never really turned down Late Show before. In 2004, Letterman was rumored to retire and Stewart was considered the frontrunner. Back then, he probably would've left, so Comedy Central dumped a ton of money at him to stay. Letterman never retired anyway.

Probably not. He changed it to the French pronunciation when he was in college.

Words cannot describe how disappointed I'd be. That's not to say Colbert wouldn't be great (he would), but dropping the faux-conservative persona and the niche he's carved out for himself over a decade at The Colbert Report would be such a letdown. He's created such brilliant satire there, and the same wouldn't happen…

I cannot see Colbert working as a replacement for Letterman (or even Stewart). The whole thing he has going for him is the character he plays, and he'd have to tone it down on The Daily Show as host or he would have to basically completely abandon it on CBS.

Anyone else think Conan O'Brien might be the guy to replace Letterman? He recently signed a contract extension with TBS that put him there through 2015 conveniently enough. Although he's 50 now, he still has the youngest audience in late night, and he's the one guy that might give Fallon a run for his money in the…
