As we get closer and closer to Jon Stewart’s final episode of The Daily Show, let’s all set aside two minutes for some nostalgia.
A Daily Show superfan named Billy Chasen put together this time-lapse video that shows Stewart aging over the course of his impressive 16-year run.
“I’ve been watching The Daily Show ever since Jon Stewart took over for Craig Kilborn and I declared, ‘this’ll never work!'” Chasen writes on YouTube. “This is my send off to his profound impact as host.”
