The news was so shocking that many Americans will likely need therapy. Jake Tapper jokingly announced there would be a statement from the president (I’m sure he was only half joking). Here is the big announcement and some reaction from libs and conservatives alike:

People at Team Hillary no doubt very disappointed about Jon Stewart news.

How rare. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert step down at the absolute top of their games.

WOW…So bummed! Jon Stewart quitting ‘Daily Show’ http://t.co/PfW0liWtsU via @usatoday

We lose Colbert, and now we lose Jon Stewart?! This is the worst timeline, ever.

#JonStewart leaving the #DailyShow is tragic. It’s ok though because we still have cable news which is equally hilarious

Jon Stewart quitting? Good timing. He was beginning to be eclipsed by John Oliver. This way, he can leave on a high.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 10, 2015
Washington is rigged for the big guys – and no person has more consistently called them out for it than Jon Stewart. Good luck, Jon!

Speculation about where he’s going and who will replace him began only seconds after the announcement. Here are some thoughts:
I assume Jon Stewart, approached by NBC about Meet the Press, isn’t stepping down so he can take the NBC anchor job?
— HowardKurtz (@HowardKurtz) February 11, 2015
So, wait. Jon Stewart is replacing Brian Williams? Don’t laugh. It’s no crazier than giving him Meet The Press and NBC wanted that.

Two fake anchors in one week! @TheDailyShow @NBCNightlyNews
— Andrew Klavan (@andrewklavan) February 10, 2015
@andrewklavan @TheDailyShow @NBCNightlyNews @DavidSussman The problem is most Americans can’t tell the real from the fake.
