Oliver signed a long term deal with HBO, and they would be crazy to let him out of it. (And he would be crazy to leave...they let him say whatever he wants)

I'm not saying this is the death of the show, but whoever they get to replace him will make the it more reflective of themselves. Even if the format is the same, it will be a different show. It won't be easy to find someone with Stewart's wit who is naturally personable to a wide variety of guests and still has the chops to ask insightful follow up questions in an interview.
Pete Dominick is probably the closest thing to that, though he's not as funny as Stewart and I doubt they could pull him away from his radio show now.
He said on Howard Stern he was retiring a year ago. Cited too much time away from his family, and he wanted to do some more movie projects either producing ,or directing.

There's people out there that could take over and be just as funny, but i just don't see anyone out there that comes close to Stewart in intelligence. I think that's a big reason he's as trusted as he is. Whenever he gets into it with someone it's clear Stewart knows way more than whoever he's debating or calling BS on.

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties. sheesh.
I think that Craig Ferguson could do it. He's a pretty sharp guy. It would be interesting to have a foreigner anchor that show, though. They make so much fun of American politics, I'm not sure it would have the same credibility if the host spoke with an accent.

I think we've all been over this at length.
But Craig Ferguson would be great, I love the way he bullshits irreverently through interviews even better than Jon did.

Colbert was the wrong person to replace Letterman. CBS made a huge mistake by not giving Ferguson the 11:30 spot. He was the best Late Night host on TV by far. It's a shame he's doing that fucking game show now. What a waste of his talent.

Yeah, grats to CBS for shitting up two beds at the same time; their own and Comedy Central's.

I'm with this. Stewart could go toe to toe with any of his guests. At least we still have Colbert coming back in another form at the end of the year.
You know who I think is smart as fuck? Russell Brand. Unfortunately he's mega-left. Like anarchy/co-op government/check yo privilege left. *shivers* gross.

I never got Craig Ferguson. To be fair I only watched a few episodes, but he just seemed more silly than funny to me.
It is hard to imagine anyone taking Stewart's place though. That was *his* show and I always liked him because even though he was obviously liberal, he wasn't scared to give it to the Democrats when they were acting stupid.
