## Transcript

As you probably already know, back in February, John Stewart announced that he would be leaving The Daily Show this year, and while most of us are still crying ourselves to sleep at night, there is at least one person who can't wait to see him go. Will Ferrell. I just want to address the fact Yes. You had the guts Yeah. to look at yourself in the mirror Yeah. and say, Jon un huh it's not working. You never found your voice. Yeah, I know. > You never found your audiance. You don't know what the SSS you're talking about half the time. Goodness gracious Will, what did Jon ever do with you? The funny man even went on to compare Jon's 15 years at the helm to an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

It's been a fascinating train wreck to watch. Oh my God. What? Well, even though Will here apparently isn't too torn up about Jon's departure, there are plenty of other celebs who are just as devastated as we are. Yeah, he's a genius, he really is. And there's nobody who can do it like he does it, so I don't think it's gonna be easy to replace him. He is that show, right? See, even Rosie is said, guys. A replacement for the Daily Show king has yet to be decided, but we're guessing Mr. Ferrell here won't be tapped for the job after this.
