Why do my favorite things have to go away? When Stephen Colbert ended his show last year, I took some comfort in the belief that Jon Stewart would stick around for a few more years. And then came the news last night that Stewart will be leaving The Daily Show later this year. Now what will I binge-watch on the weekends? Sure, John Oliver is still doing brilliant stuff on HBO. And I’m trying to like Larry Wilmore’s The Nightly Show, but the panel segments can be grating.

The Daily Show will find a new host, but Stewart’s legacy will loom large over his replacement. His sharp yet humane wit made this messy and unfair world a little more tolerable. Whatever he decides to do next, I hope that he continues to poke a finger in the eyes of the powerful and the hypocritical.
