Jon Stewart Signs Off From "The Daily Show" For The Last Time

Stewart ended his 16-year-run as host of The Daily Show Thursday with a star-studded and at times emotional final episode.

Stewart, who took over the Comedy Central show in 1999 from Craig Kilborn, began Thursday night's episode with a series of rapid fire cameos from former staffers, alums, and contributors. The guests included Steve Carell, John Oliver, Kristen Schaal, Ed Helms, Michael Che, Josh Gad, and numerous others.

The segment moved quickly, but was a testament to how many careers began or were significantly elevated on The Daily Show.

John Hodgman, Lewis Black, Aasif Mandvi, Jordan Klepper, Steve Carell, Jessica Williams, Samantha Bee, Hasan Minhaj, Kristen Schaal and Al Madrigal appear on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" Thursday.

Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John McCain, Chris Christie, Rahm Emanuel, and others bid farewell to Stewart, in some cases snarking about how happy his departure was making them.
