I figured that might be the case, but wasn't gonna assume.
Except that it's actually not.
She's apparently only an executive producer and writer on the sitcom, since she's not in front of the camera, she can and will still be on TDS, for now at least.

She can still appear on DS, but will she really want to with Jon gone?
I have to imagine they'll largely want to clean slate the show anyway and come up with new bits to match whoever becomes host, and that might mean phasing out the old talent… who largely seem to be leaving for other pastures anyway.
Maybe they could give the show to Bassem Youssef.
And the Daily Show host replacement has been announced.
Trevor Noah.
Never heard of him. But given how big and importnt and well paying a job host of the show is, I'm sure they had a reasonable pick of talent and got the best man for the job.
(Also, every article I've seen so far makes a deal out of the fact that he's black. Is that really still a thing? Arsenio Hall was 20 years ago, and they've already got Larry Willmore hosting the second show?)
I liked his segments on the Daily Show but they didn't mesh well with the show. Maybe he'll play better as a straight man host than as one of the wacky correspondents.
Never heard of him.
Been watching the show for the last 3 months? If you have and you don't recognize Trevor Noah's name, shame on you.

@Mr.:

Not regularly, no. I haven't cared for Willmore's show at all and haven't been motivated to tune in for just Jon's half hour.
And since Craig Ferguson left I've just sort of stopped watching Late Night all together.
Though I am catching Oliver's show on youtube. Once a week.

Well his show is by far the best ;)

Yeah, it's still a thing even if you disregard the title of this very thread because it's only referring to "late night shows", the talk show business overall is still very white so when an umm…mixed man gets such a high gig it's at least of some note. Regardless, Noah had this to say about mixed race and fame some years ago...
"They wait for you to achieve success before they give you the black standard. That's the upgrade. Before then, they say you're mixed. You achieve success and you get upgraded to black. And all the famous mixed people do it. Before, they all were mixed. … All those singers — Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey — they go, oh, you know, mixed, and then they become famous, they go, black singers. Tiger Woods is a black golfer although he's mixed. He doesn't even refer to himself as black, you know?
"And the most famous person is Barack Obama, mixed half and half, but you say America's first black president. But when he was running, they called him the mixed candidate, you know, which is very interesting for me. You see how the dynamic goes."
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about the fact that he can speak 6 different languages. That right there is pretty remarkable along with the fact of his upbringing in apartheid South Africa until he was 10 years old. Of course things only got slowly better and are still pretty terrible down there today but I don't want to digress.
I probably need to change the title at some point. Everyone is retiring or moving or being promoted… I have no idea what the lineup is any more.

Something with John Oliver, Larry Wilmore, Trevor Noah and minus Letterman and Stewart?
Maybe Seth Meyers. Or you can just go for something simple and say 'Late Night Shows'.
The current/upcoming late night talk show lineup is:
CBS - Letterman/Colbert and Corden
NBC - Fallon, Meyers, and Daly (Carson Daly still has a show?)
ABC - Kimmel
Comedy Central - Stewart/Noah and Wilmore
HBO - Oliver
TBS - O'Brien
I guess Graham Norton and Bill Maher count as well.
Colbert, Fallon, Noah, Oliver, and O'Brien maybe?
Don't know if anyone still watches the Nightly Show but I think it's improved drastically. I watched the first week or so when it first started out of curiosity and wasn't impressed, but I just watched last week's slate and the difference is apparent. Larry seems more comfortable and they've tabled the Keep It 100 segment for more fun and creative games. Still a pretty niche show working on building its fanbase, though.
Here's an article about the selection:
http://news.yahoo.com/indiana-state-lawmakers-address-religious-objections-law-130900910.html
Apparently he hosted his own late-night show in South Africa. I'm curious now. And no, I haven't seen any of his bits since I haven't been catching the Daily Show lately.
Same here; I've not really watched the Daily Show all that much lately.
I guess I was really watching it while waiting for the Colbert Report to begin as much anything else and, since that ended, I haven't bothered all that much.
Of course, it seems like half the time I do tune in, it's just a repeat anyway so that certainly doesn't help matters either.
I wasn't watching it to wait for Colbert so much as tuning in for the hour occurred to me as a thing to do. Tuning in for the half hour just seems to slip my mind.
Similarly I missed the entire last season of South Park for some reason.
I am with Ubiq in not watching much of the Daily show, if at all for the last two years.
Don't get me wrong, Jon Stewart is a gift to this generation, but it gets to a point ,as one gets older that his routine gets old. I get it, Fox News is an insane hyper conservative hypocritical propaganda machine. But 16 years of that? 16 years of pretty much the same joke "Fox news and Republicans are insane, let's laugh" gets old, and frankly it got tiring. That is why John Oliver's brief stint as host was so refreshing, it brought something new, it brought something different.
Is this new guy going to be good? Probably. I think it is rather strange they are going with a complete newbie, but I suppose they want a blank slate, someone who is coming in with no baggage from previous shows and comedies. I do think though, that the Daily Show will transform itself from where it is now, and I think that is going to be good for the future. We'll see. As much as Jon Stewart is important, and his accomplishments speak for themselves, I am not sad he is leaving.
Though I wish he'd wait for the 2016 race to be over before, but ah well.
I wasn't distracted by Lucy being half naked.
You won this week Fairy Tail.

Except that part was never a joke.
Its not his fault it continues to be true.

He's not a newbie. He's hosted his own show before. He just hasn't been a DS regular for years like Colbert, Oliver or Willmore were.
Though I wish he'd wait for the 2016 race to be over before, but ah well.
I'm sure he'll be back as a regular guest for some of that. If he hasn't ended up somewhere doing something else.
The Daily Show's gotten several new correspondents in the time I've not been watching. No thoughts on the new guy, but I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm sure there were people who doubted Jon when he first took over, but it worked out great. I've sort of been tuning into it again lately. Larry's show is alright, but I definitely feel they should just cut down on the first half of the show or get rid of it altogether. The panelists and 'keeping it 100' is the best part of the show, but they consistently have to cut people off because they're running out of time.
Problem with Willmore's show is he's basically doing Bill Maher's show… and to do that right takes a full hour. You need the first few minutes to do the news of the day, and THEN you can launch into the debatey topics with a panel.
The constant leaving and adding of correspondents the last years held the Daily Show quite fresh imo. For the new host; I've only seen his three segments with JS and I guess he will bring some new sharpness against injustice and similar issues into the show, considering him growing up in the apartheid regime.
James Corden, in his second week on the show, left the studio, went knocking around on doors, and eventually got to film the show in a random stranger's house.
Among other things, they played hide and seek with Jeff Goldblum, and played with a bunch of animals. All while the residents of the house were startstruck the whole time.
The John Oliver show this week was really, really good. His interview with Snowden was masterful.
@TLC:

I didn't see how anyone could be disappointed with this until I went on reddit and that was all because they thought Edward Snowden was a national hero who should have been allowed to speak the entire time, not get grilled, and that Oliver shouldn't have joked around because apparently they forgot this was a comedy show and wanted it to be straight news.
Jon Stewart's last Daily Show will Be August 6th, 2015.
Letterman's last show will be on May 20. (And I think Colbert doesn't start until the fall.)
Craig Ferguson left a couple months ago.
Conan is on a channel no one watches.
I miss the days when TNT and TBS actually offered something besides the same shows that are already on a half-dozen channels anyway.
Especially TNT; that used to be a great channel back in the day.
Cute fact: After he leaves Jon Stewart's time will be spent . . . . on his farm.

The last episode of Late Night with David Letterman starts in about an hour.
The final episode of Late Show have started now.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Nice, Simpsons cameo.
Oh, hey, a Morning Show clip.
I hope they actually release some of that stuff someday; it got great reviews at the time but was considered too out there for audiences then.
The final Late Show Top Ten is now.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
LOL at Dave at Taco Bell.
Clips like this of Dave dicking with people in the Taco Bell drive-through make me remember why I used to watch this show so much.
Complicating things since 2009.
Wow. This montage is pretty powerful.
Especially that pause and close-in on Warren Zevon.
Man, I forgot how awesome the Late Night era was. Since I used to watch the reruns of Late Night when it was on E! when I was a kid.

So long Dave. You earned the retirement.
But did you have to take Ferguson and the Colbert character with you?
Never really been by here, but I assume here's where I can share this bit of gold?
Its so weird seeing him with a beard at all.
Or the fact that its like, solid grey.
Jon Batiste is the bandleader, and they're doing podcasts of the creative process for the show. Pretty neat stuff

I honestly prefer him with the beard.
It makes for a good change of pace from the character Colbert, but no way he keeps it. No late night host goes unshaven.
Jon Stewart had a goatee for a couple weeks once and it looked great, but he ditched it pretty fast.
I think the long hair bugs me more than the beard.
wipes tears from eyes
Aw man, I'm gonna miss Stewart when he departs the Daily Show.
