Jon Stewart leaving ‘The Daily Show’: Read a transcipt of his remarks

LA Times  

On Tuesday, Jon Stewart shocked fans by announcing he would be leaving his job as host of “The Daily Show,” a position he’s held since 1999. Fighting back tears, he explained the decision at the end of Tuesday’s show with the following remarks: “Doug Herzog and Michele Ganeless of Comedy Central gave me an incredible opportunity 17 years ago to pilot this wonderful franchise. “I’m going to have dinner on a school night with my family, who I have heard from multiple sources are lovely people. “But this show doesn’t deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you.
