Stewart, speaking at Catie Lazarus’s show “Employee of the Month” at a New York pub, wouldn’t name a desired successor but explained what he would like to see from the show after he leaves, the _Hollywood Reporter_ reported. “What I want to see there is the next iteration of this idea,” Stewart said, adding that he used every possible permutation of the show’s concept. “I feel like the tributaries of my brain combined with the rigidity of the format.” He used _The_ _Daily Show_ alum and _Last Week Tonight_ host John Oliver ([who will definitely not be succeeding Stewart](http://time.com/3712367/john-oliver-last-week-tonight-renewed/)) as an example of the possibilities. “John Oliver was able to apply our process to a more considered thing, and it’s exciting to watch it evolve and see it mutate and change and fill different gaps and different ideas,” he said. “That’s the part that I’m looking forward to seeing.” As for [his own plans](http://time.com/3704876/know-right-now-jon-stewart-to-leave-daily-show/), Stewart reiterated that he has a lot of “ideas” of his own, and that spending more time with his family is a big part of his decision to step down. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3716174/jon-stewart-successor-expectations-daily-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3716174/jon-stewart-successor-expectations-daily-show/"},"headline":"Here's What Jon Stewart Wants From the Next Host of The Daily Show","datePublished":"2015-02-20T06:40:51.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:59:51.702Z","description":"He still didn't say who he thinks that host should be, though","url":"https://time.com/3716174/jon-stewart-successor-expectations-daily-show/","keywords":["celebrities","Retirement","Jon Stewart","John Oliver","Daily Show","Last Week Tonight"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltec5526e09bf2a575/69878036524fc0bd36dec901/458893590.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Rishi Iyengar","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/rishi-iyengar/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltec5526e09bf2a575/69878036524fc0bd36dec901/458893590.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Rosewater\" New York Premiere","caption":"\"Rosewater\" New York Premiere","creditText":"Desiree Navarro—WireImage/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/3716174/jon-stewart-successor-expectations-daily-show/","name":"Here's What Jon Stewart Wants From the Next Host of The Daily Show"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Jon Stewart Announces He is Leaving the Daily Show","description":"Jon Stewart Announces He is Leaving the Daily Show","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/nLC3I4ZC/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-11T14:22:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/nLC3I4ZC.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3716174/jon-stewart-successor-expectations-daily-show/","duration":"PT16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3716174/jon-stewart-successor-expectations-daily-show/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
