C.K. said Stewart was one of the first people he saw perform at the Comedy Cellar, a New York City stand-up club where they both got their start, and the two reminisced about the deep bond between the comedians who performed there at the time. The conversation also turned to Trevor Noah, the South African comedian who will take over _The Daily Show_ after Stewart hosts his last episode Thursday night. Stewart said he’s excited for Noah’s debut “so people who watch this show can fall in love again.” “All love begins with who the f–k is this?” C.K. replied. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3987129/jon-stewart-louis-ck-daily-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3987129/jon-stewart-louis-ck-daily-show/"},"headline":"Watch Louis C.K. and Jon Stewart Talk About the Past and Future of The Daily Show","datePublished":"2015-08-06T13:33:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:05.822Z","description":"And Stewart explained why he's excited about handing the show over to Trevor Noah","url":"https://time.com/3987129/jon-stewart-louis-ck-daily-show/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Louis CK","Jon Stewart"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"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":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3987129/jon-stewart-louis-ck-daily-show/","name":"Watch Louis C.K. and Jon Stewart Talk About the Past and Future of The Daily Show"}}]}] ```
