End of an era
I can't believe that we are here. How is it possible that I am five hours away, from the very last Daily Show with Jon?
I am not even close to ready. I have been faithfully watching this show for 14 years. It is the longest show ever. I can't even remember not watching.
This program has meant so much to me. When I've been so down, when everything just hurt, I could pop him ( and Stephen) on, and smile. Laugh, when it felt impossible too. I can never fully articulate my feelings, other than, I love ya, Jonny Stew, and I don't want him to go. It has been such a big part of my life. I can't fathom not turning to him, when something major happens.
His show has had such an important cultural impact as well. When we needed a voice of calm and reason, when we needed to let go and laugh, when the world was so messed up, Jon was there. He made us laugh, cry, think, rage and made sense of the senseless. His humor, wit, intelligence and compassion will be missed terribly. There will never be another like him. He brought so much joy, to so many.
I am so very sad to see him go, but I am happy to see him go on his own terms. I wish him all the sucess in the world, and hope that he pops up on Stephen's show sometimes.
So, here's to you, Jon Stewart. You are one of a kind, and you will be so very very,very missed. ♥
It was a hellva ride! :-)
