Sometimes you loose something that simply cannot be replaced. This is one of those times. I suspect that after he's gone I'll look back on this much the same as when Johnny Carson retired and for people of my age, those are big, BIG words.
The Daily Show will likely go on with someone highly talented sitting at the desk, but that Daily Show will never be this Daily Show.

I suppose I'm of a different mind. Jon Stewart had great moments and surpassed Craig Kilborn but, more recently, he seemed to be phoning in his job. I'd be excited to see another, young or proficient, comedian hungry for the job to take over the role.

Wyatt Cenac was great but I can't see him anchoring the show. He's a full on Brooklyn hipster guy. He could clean back up of course, but he doesn't seem like he'd bring the right kind of funny to the host chair.
Bee/Jones husband and wife team idea has some potential. Though they might decide it feels too much like Weekend Update. Still I think this is the best possibility of people associated with the show right now. Or at least the most intriguing to me. I guess it would mean we'd lose them as field people, which would suck because they are both amazing at it, but they're always bringing in new younger people who fit the bill. Jordan Klepper and Jessica Jones are both good. And the new South African guy, Trevor Noah, has potential. Though I haven't seen him in the field yet.
I kind of wish Larry Wilmore was still an option, he's really got the desk anchor thing down and his version of mocking the news and politics if great while still being different enough that it would feel like his own show.
Aasif Mandvi isn't a bad option.

It's the same handful of people, bought off by the same handful of companies, NOT passing legislation, every fucking week.

15 years is a long time to host a show. He had a great run. Hopefully he takes some time off and then gets doing stuff. He did direct a movie that came out last year. Maybe do some more stuff like that. He didn't really have the same kind of energy lately he used to. Be a shame if he just quit altogether like Carson.

YES. Seriously. Yes. That would actually bring the humor back to it.
None of Stewarts current cast is going to be able to replace him. Oh, one of them will probably be offered the show and take it for about six months. But it'll fucking suck. It'll just be unintentionally pretentious and snide. That show is Jon Stewart.
That said, Samantha Bee would do the best.
