Jon Stewart’s illustrious tenure hosting The Daily Show comes to an end on August 6. As the day creeps ever nearer, he's been getting the supercut treatment in various ways: all the times he didn’t see his guest’s movie, his vocal eccentricities, even all the times he did the show when he was sick. And all his frequently recurring guests are coming back for one final goodbye. (We’re still holding out hope that the finale features Springsteen and Colbert.) There’s even a time-lapse video going around that shows just how much Stewart changed during his run.
But lest you think Comedy Central would let the bedrock of its political satire go without a celebratory Viking funeral, that’s about to change. Starting tomorrow at noon EST, Comedy Central is streaming every single Stewart-hosted episode in order. Beginning with that inauspicious January 11, 1999 debut, "Your Month Of Zen" is a binge-watching marathon to rival all others, including that crazy 12-day Simpsons marathon last summer on FXX. There will be an episode of The Daily Show streaming at Comedy Central’s website all the way through to the Stewart’s final bow, so get ready to check in whenever you’d like this summer as he comes into his own as a firebrand social commentator, the correspondents shuffle through multiple all-star lineups, and the guest spot goes from an afterthought to one of the most sought-after appearances in late-night television.
