Jon Stewart says he’s leaving The Daily Show

Ending one of the most venerable and trusted careers in making a complete mockery of the news, Jon Stewart has announced that he is stepping down as host of The Daily Show. According to sources who were there (some of whom are alreadypassing word along on social media), Stewart let the news slip at the taping of today’s episode, telling those in the audience that he’s retiring. No word yet on when exactly he’s leaving, whether this means he’s ending his time in the anchor chair to focus on being a Serious Movie Director now, or just how much this is Brian Williams’ fault. Presumably all of this information will be revealed in time—and delivered by Stewart himself tonight on your television. We’ll update when we have more.

I was out of commission. No one heard from me for a month. The first time I had done any work after Paul’s death was going into this booth and breathing life into a tree and mourning the loss of a friend. There was something very therapeutic about playing a character that celebrates life. Ultimately, Groot represents life.

Obit of the Day: Writer, Director, Actor Harold Ramis

To find comedy talent, you don’t have to look much further than Harold Ramis. Mr. Ramis wrote, directed, and starred in some of the greatest comedies in American film history.

Getting his start with the famed Second City Theater in Chicago, Mr. Ramis moved to New York to become a writer for National Lampoon joining Bill Murray, John Belushi, and Gilda Radner. He would later become the first head writer for SCTV - while he colleagues all joined the new sketch-based late night show Saturday Night Live.

His first film screenplay, Animal House (1978), which documented the chaotic happening at Delta Tau Chi fraternity was his first big hit, and also a breakout for Mr. Belushi. Over the next decade Mr. Ramis would write and direct some of the most beloved comedy films of all time. He co-wrote scripts for Cadddyshack (1980), Stripes (1981), Ghostbusters (1984) and Back to School  (1984). He was also behind the camera for Caddyshack and National Lampoon’s Vacation - both of which starred another SNL alum, Chevy Chase.

Mr. Ramis, who had co-starring roles in Stripes and Ghostbusters (as well as its sequel), slowed his output in the 1990s but still managed to find success on the big screen. His 1993 classic Groundhog Day was ranked the 34th best comedy of all-time by the American Film Institute*. (According to Mr. Ramis this was also the film that forever damaged his relationship with Mr. Murray. They had differing visions on the focus of the film’s message.) He also wrote and directed the 1999 Billy Crystal-Robert DeNiro hit Analyze This. 

Mr. Ramis also starred in films that he neither directed nor wrote, including As Good As It Gets (1997), Knocked Up (2007), and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007). At the time of his death Mr. Ramis had no current projects, and his last film credit was for the Jack Black-Michael Cera caveman comedy Year One (2009).

Harold Ramis, who was a native of Chicago and graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, died from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, on February 24, 2014. He was 69 years old.
