ANOTHER ONE LEAVES 'THE DAILY SHOW' NEST
As Jon Stewart himself said, The Daily Show has been "down this road a few times this year. Each time it's not easy." He was talking about another departure from the show; this time "Senior Senior Correspondent," Samantha Bee, whose last day was April 30. What followed was a montage of some of the crazier pieces she's done followed by clips of the more pointed pieces that, as Stewart said, were "closest to her heart.” It was a fantastic way to showcase her amazing work over the last twelve years, but Bee herself was too choked up to say anything after the wonderful tribute. She's leaving Comedy Central to work on two projects for TBS. One is a show she'll host and executive produce with her husband, former Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones. The talented Canadian couple is also developing a scripted series for the network. All the tearful goodbyes on The Daily Show are leading up to Stewart's own farewell on August 6. So keep that box of tissues handy. – Monique Nazareth
