Watch Jon Stewart Announce He's Leaving 'The Daily Show'

by | February 11th, 2015

Well, here it is: Jon Stewart's official announcement that he's leaving his longtime post at The Daily Show this year. Stewart waited until the final few moments of last night's show to explain to the audience why he's leaving: "You know, I'm not going to be here and try and sum up what this place has meant to me over the years. I couldn't do that," he said. "And we have plenty of time, and I've got a myriad of people to thank, and we'll get to that over time. I'm not going anywhere tomorrow. But this show doesn't deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you."

by | October 22nd, 2013

As of this week, Splitsider has its comments section turned off by default. We still have the ability to turn the comments on for select posts — our SNL reviews tend to get good comments, for example — but for the vast majority of posts, we will no longer be accepting comments.

Craig Ferguson Announces He's Leaving 'Late Late Show' in December

by | April 29th, 2014

Craig Ferguson announced on his show last night that he's leaving the hosting gig at the end of the year. Ferguson has hosted Late Late Show since 2005, infusing it with some of late night's most delightfully weird concepts such as challenging guests to try for a Golden Mouth Organ award, Secretariat the dancing pantomime horse, and his robot skeleton sidekick Geoff Peterson. Variety reports that Ferguson wanted to announce his departure as early as last summer but held off until now, and taking over for Letterman was never something he wanted to do:

"I had no desire — none — to do that job. I [...]
