obama daily show jon stewart last appearance — Comedy Central

Even President Obama wants to say “Jon Voyage” to the inveterate host of The Daily Show. Comedy Central announced today that Jon Stewart will have one last sit-down with Barack Obama before his run ends on Aug. 6. Though his last days in the anchor chair loom ever closer, the beloved comedian and political satirist clearly isn’t just coasting.

Set for Tuesday, July 21 at 11/10 c, the appearance will be Obama’s third visit as POTUS, and seventh overall. The president made his debut on The Daily Show November 7, 2005, back when he was an up-and-coming member of the U.S. Senate. Over the years, he’s become a familiar face on late night TV, having been interviewed (and even tried his hand at a little hosting) on The Colbert Report, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and more.

The Daily Show’s social media team tweeted the news of the latest POTUS visit, along with a link to all of the previous ones.

The #DailyShow returns next week w/ new episodes, including Jon’s final interview w/ @POTUS Barack Obama, Tues, 7/21 http://t.co/KOgmNFrmPs

Comedy Central and Stewart have been putting together an awesome farewell (or “Jon Voyage,” as the network is calling it). “Your Month of Zen” started at the end of June when Comedy Central made all episodes of The Daily Show available for continuous streaming, giving Stewart fans free access to all 16 years of his Daily Show tenure.

On top of that, the show’s website had a “News Your Own Adventure poll, in which Fans were encouraged to vote for their favorite Daily Show clips. The network will run a compilation of the winning segments in an hour-long special on Sunday, Aug. 2 at 9/8 c. It’s made it a little easier to cope with the fact that Stewart is leaving really leaving.

10 best Netflix shows with more than 5 seasons, ranked

A woman puts a crown on a man in The Crown.

Netflix is home to many great shows. It's also the most prolific and well-known streaming service of them all, with a large catalog of original and acquired content. However, the King of Streamers is also famous for being quite trigger-happy. Indeed, Netflix is no stranger to canceling its shows, even if it spent millions producing them; if they don't yield immediate results, the streamer will pull the plug without blinking an eye.

Still, many original shows have beaten the cancellation curse and had a successful life, at least by streaming standards. These shows are Netflix's best efforts that actually got to enjoy a full life cycle, receiving more than five seasons. None might come close to the 100-episode mark, but these beloved series prove to hopeful showrunners everywhere that there is indeed life on Netflix after season 5.
