Jon Stewart has announced he is stepping down from his job at The Daily Show.
The popular host, who began working on the Comedy Central news program in January 1999, made the announcement at a taping of his show on Tuesday.
He will leave at the end of this year, most likely when his contract expires in the Fall.
'Seventeen years is the longest I have ever in my life held a job by sixteen years and five months. The upshot there being I am a terrible employee. In my heart I know it is time for someone else to have that opportunity,' said Stewart.
