Jon Stewart gave an amazing speech to cover the Charleston church shooting during one of his final episodes of The Daily Show on Thursday night (June 18).

The 52-year-old comedian didn’t write any jokes for his opening monologue and said he was filled with “just sadness.”

“I didn’t do my job today, because of what happened in South Carolina,” Jon started off saying. “Maybe if I wasn’t nearing the end of the run or this wasn’t such a common occurrence, maybe I could have pulled out of the spiral, but I didn’t. I honestly have nothing other than just sadness.”

“If this had been what we thought was Islamic terrorism…it’s ‘we’ve got to do whatever we can — we’ll torture people! — we’ve got to do whatever we can to keep Americans safe.’ Nine people shot in a church, what about that? ‘Hey, what are you gonna do, crazy is as crazy does.’ That’s the part that I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around,” Jon said to compare the shooting to terrorism.

Melissa McCarthy steps out for an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Wednesday (June 3) in New York City.

The 44-year-old actress wore a dress that featured Jon‘s face all over it!

“Sadly, this is me making it,” Melissa said about the dress. “This is how I’ll rock myself to sleep crying every night when you stop doing this show.”

Melissa‘s movie Spy is hitting theaters everywhere this weekend so make sure to check it out. Watch the interview below and see more photos of her stepping out that day in the gallery.

Trevor Noah‘s The Daily Show start date has been revealed!

The 31-year-old comedian will take over the desk on September 28, which is over one month after Jon Stewart, the current host, records his last show.

The guys were joined by Ray‘s former co-stars Robert De Niro (with wife Grace Hightower), Lorraine Bracco, Paul Sorvino, moderator Jon Stewart, and screenplay writer Nicholas Pileggi.

Later in the night, they all hit up the after party at Tavern on The Green.

Released in 1990, Goodfellas followed Henry Hill and his friends as they worked their way up through the mob hierarchy.

Jon Stewart has broken his silence on the controversy surrounding Trevor Noah and some questionable tweets he’s sent over the years.

“I can say this without hesitation: Trevor Noah will earn your trust and respect … or not,” the 52-year-old talk show host said on his show on Monday (April 6). “Just as I earned your respect … or did not.”

“I do hope you give him the opportunity to earn that trust and respect. My experience with him is that he is an incredibly thoughtful and considerate and funny and smart individual. I think, you give him that time, and it’s going to be well worth it. I’m excited for where he’s going to take the thing,” Jon added.

Trevor Noah is officially set to replace Jon Stewart as the host of Comedy Central’s nightly program, The Daily Show.

The 31-year-old comedian first made his debut on the show back in December and has only made three appearances so far.

“You don’t believe it for the first few hours,” Trevor told the New York Times of landing the huge job. “You need a stiff drink, and then unfortunately you’re in a place where you can’t really get alcohol.”

“I’m thrilled for the show and for Trevor,” Jon said in a statement. “He’s a tremendous comic and talent that we’ve loved working with.”

Michele Ganeless, the president of Comedy Central, also commented on the casting: “We talked to women. We talked to men. We found in Trevor the best person for the job. You don’t hope to find the next Jon Stewart �” there is no next Jon Stewart. So, our goal was to find someone who brings something really exciting and new and different.”
