Just as I thought I would, I avoided the final episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as long as I could. But we watched it, and I got all kinds of sad. But there was happy, too. It was a treat to see all the former correspondents return for the episode, and I just about peed myself when Stephen Colbert showed up. (My goodness, I didn't realize how very much I missed seeing his face on my television until he arrived on set. I can't wait for his The Late Show to start in September.) And that the correspondents' segment lasted for a full 26 minutes was super gravy. I didn't feel like anyone got shafted, though I guess I would have liked a little more Steve Carell.

Still, I cried at the end, but only when Stewart couldn't say anything except goodbye. To have him ride off into the New Jersey sunset is a delight. But I'd love to have him around soon in some awesome capacity. Doing stand-up? I already made a Ticketmaster alert for if/when he shows up around Phoenix. Absolutely anything else? I just hope he starts a Twitter account.
