Is Jon Stewart leaving? The Daily Show After her 23rd Emmy win?
It’s no wonder this question was on reporters’ minds after last night’s ceremony.
Stewart and The Daily Show made history with his win, but viewers had long expected the beloved comedian to step down once again after the November elections.

The 61-year-old comedian will host the show only on Mondays, and the rest of the week the show will be open to other TDS personalities.
Now that Stewart has successfully contested the election and picked up another Emmy, does he still plan on calling it quits after the election?
On Sunday, Diversity Stewart was asked directly if he planned to leave the show for a second time.
Stewart played it safe
“Well, I guess this election is never going to end. So why would I go? How can I go? I’m not going to be allowed to go until the election unless we all toughen up in some way,” he responded.
“We’re waiting for it to be awesome.”
Yes, he avoided giving a definitive answer, but it seems like Stewart is having so much fun now that he can’t stop.
“I love the family of collaborators that we’ve built over the years,” he said, speaking backstage at the Emmys.
