Life coach for troubled celebrities? The Internet was wondering what’s next for Jon Stewart after announced his retirement from _The Daily Show_ after nearly two decades as host. His last show is Thursday. Turns out, social media had plenty of ideas – and retirement isn’t among them. #JobsForJonStewart took Twitter by storm, and his fans had lots of suggestions, “from the sensible to the silly,” according to CNN. According to @davonmagwood, Stewart should replace Brian Williams (who was suspended for six months without pay by NBC on Tuesday) as the new anchor of the Nightly News. > [](https://twitter.com/davonmagwood/status/565367925805420545) [Katy Perry](http://www.people.com/people/katy%5Fperry/ "undefined") could probably use a left shark understudy, suggested [@TrivWorks](https://twitter.com/TrivWorks/status/565359230740602880 "undefined"). > [](https://twitter.com/TrivWorks/status/565359230740602880) As suggested by [@mikd33](https://twitter.com/mikd33/status/565366487750541312 "undefined"), Stewart could capitalize on his striking resemblance to Killer Bob in the [new _Twin Peaks_](http://www.people.com/article/twin-peaks-where-are-they-now "undefined"). > [](https://twitter.com/mikd33/status/565366487750541312) Meanwhile, [@bigmacher](https://twitter.com/bigmacher/status/565359224705011712 "undefined") kept it simple – and super. > [](https://twitter.com/bigmacher/status/565359224705011712) And [@joemessin](https://twitter.com/joemessin/status/565356572290080769 "undefined") asked if Stewart might get started on “Finding the missing ‘H’ for his first name?” > [](https://twitter.com/joemessin/status/565356572290080769) “Life coach for Randy Quaid,” posited [@krodNM](https://twitter.com/krodNM/status/565350677954961409 "undefined"). > [](https://twitter.com/krodNM/status/565350677954961409) Even [Arby’s](https://twitter.com/Arbys/status/565327323084627969 "undefined") said they had an opening, writing, “Jon, feel free to reach out to us at careers@arbys.com.” > [](https://twitter.com/Arbys/status/565327323084627969) For now, it seems, Stewart has less ambitious plans. “I’m gonna have dinner, on a school night, with my family,” he said in signature Stewart style (tongue-in-cheek) while announcing to his studio audience on Tuesday that he was leaving. As for that family, he said, “I have heard from multiple sources \[that they\] are lovely people.” _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/jon-stewart-job-after-daily-show "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined")_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3705779/twitter-jon-stewart-next-steps/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3705779/twitter-jon-stewart-next-steps/"},"headline":"#JobsForJonStewart Suggests Next Steps For Jon Stewart","datePublished":"2015-02-11T20:53:27.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T17:38:13.000Z","description":"Twitter has suggestions for departing 'Daily Show' host","url":"https://time.com/3705779/twitter-jon-stewart-next-steps/","keywords":["celebrities","Television","Jon Stewart"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0c0ed6f9a5946e21/69876399a988ca32ba6aa1f3/458012744.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Wade Rouse / People"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0c0ed6f9a5946e21/69876399a988ca32ba6aa1f3/458012744.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Host Jon Stewart at \"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\" covers the Midterm elections with \"Democalypse 2014: South By South Mess\" on Oct. 28, 2014 in Austin, Texas.","caption":"Host Jon Stewart at \"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart\" covers the Midterm elections with \"Democalypse 2014: South By South Mess\" on Oct. 28, 2014 in Austin, Texas.","creditText":"Rick Kern—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3705779/twitter-jon-stewart-next-steps/","name":"#JobsForJonStewart Suggests Next Steps For Jon Stewart"}}]}] ```
