I absolutely love that Jon returned the favor when Comedy Central cancelled Larry Wilmore's show. He didn't want anyone else to go through what he went through on MTV, and comfort folks like Dave did to him. Way to go, Jon! You've influenced the media landscape just like your hero David Letterman did.

I know this comment is 3 years old, but I just wanted to add that Tom Snyder basically did the same thing for David Letterman when his first morning talk show on NBC got cancelled. Letterman would go on to replace Snyder in the time slot after the Tonight Show, then hire Snyder to do the Late Late show on CBS.

So true.....ESPECIALLY the NBC Dave. By this time though, he was already at CBS, and slowly beginning to change into the LESS daring, LESS cutting-edge, LESS funny (i.e., more BITTER) Dave. Once he lost out to Leno for "Tonight", and shipped out to CBS, it wasn't too many years before he just seemed to quit giving a crap (not completely, but DEFINITELY much more so than when he was still at NBC). Yeah, probably wasn't too much longer after this (if he hadn't already started), that he began devoting more time to chasing women around the office, than worrying about the quality of each night's show. As 'The Donald' would say..............SAD !!!

Wow..this interview was reversed 10 years later, when Jon was the academy awards host, and letterman was interviewing HIM..and now one of JOns protoge's"Stephen Colbert" is taking over for David Letterman, when he retires! This is such an interesting flashback.

Dave should be the last guest on Jon's last Daily show again, that would be a nice touch. Be sad to see them both go later this year. For anyone wanting to see the Volvo Dave talks about in this video clip, it's highlighted in Seinfeld's interview with Dave on Comedians in Cars getting Coffee. Pretty nice car, and still runs about 20 years later.

The car Dave mentions is the car Jerry Seinfeld gets to drive when Dave is guest on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, see it! Jon went on to bigger and better and he did not screw up the Academy Awards :-)

That was cool of Dave passing on to Jon a few words of encouragement.

"I know the same is in store for you..." Dave called it........

The Daily Show premiered the next year, hosted by Craig Kilborn, who then took over the Late Late Show following Dave, opening a spot for Stewart. He did OK over there.

yeah but part of it is the degraded tape quality. i used to wonder back in the 90's if the 70's and 80's TV was really as blurry and fuzzy as it seemed when seeing it in the present (90's), especially considering 90's TV looked so clear and normal. but now i see old clips of shows that looked perfectly normal at the time, and the video quality makes it looked like it's 50 years old. hell, even some clips of shows from the early 00's look fuzzy and old now even though they were crystal clear at the time.

I actually remember watching this............ I was God knows how old like I think I was 10 or something. My oldest brother had us all stay up late to watch this as a big event. He's a badass who always knew what was the real good shit. Not just what the media told us what to like. So knowing Jon Stewart's stand up he knew that his show was going to be badass!! He was right and he never missed an episode of this talk show. I was a freaking kid so of course I missed like almost all of his episodes. But I do remember the night I watched this whole episode

The energy of youth.

Greatly appreciate this upload. My VCR cut off the last five minutes because something on the network carrying the show at one in the morning overran earlier in the evening. Nice to finally see the end of that first Jon Stewart talk show after all these years. "So Jon ... do you think being cancelled is going to hurt our ratings?" :D

This just makes me miss Dave so much already.

loved every minute of this! Blues Traveler was the cherry on top

This sounds so painful, and hes so sad clearly, BUT GREAT THINGS ARE COMING FOR YOU JOHN!

at the 20 minute mark they show a clip of Letterman's other last show from his morning show days in 1980. The rabbit hole goes deeeeeeeep

The only credits I've voluntarily viewed. Then again I would do anything Jon Stewart asked

Jon looked absolutely crushed at the end there. Little did he know.

I like the fact that he asked the audience at home to watch the credits so that his crew get their due credit...

Perfect finale song from Buffalo Tom, unbelievable it was cut. Buffalo Tom, "Porchlight" Hey when the need becomes too strong or long And drawn out for me to take Like a cigarette burn to the fleshy turbines of my heart That faded afternoon floats breezily into my memory Cool shafts of light appear and I'm left here Standing naked on my own Your voice is small on my voice mail system A million miles away But if I turned it off I would not hear the little things you say The world must chill And like a king I ring up old acquaintances It's like the man says I ain't here on business It's all work anyway On any other day They say the light has got no equal On any other day The date's irrelevant but she was drunk In the heat of the June night The faces in the windows - shouts rang out Into dawn's early light The flailing arms and scrambling eggs I fled On my two shambling legs I gotta go I said - they both looked dead On any other day On any other day They say the light has got no equal On any other day On any other day On any other day They say the light has got no equal On any other day The fire blazed away The kitchen porch was all that remained And I'm out here alone - beat up and pissed Until this very day That old hotel rang back in fuzzy time And I was ravaged to the bone Your voice got smaller 'til I realized It was gone On any other day They'd say the light has got no equal On any other day On any other day I swear the light has got no equal On any other day I realize I realize It was gone

Thanks for posting this! The Letterman interview is classic!

It happened for a reason. Had he found success here we would of never had the Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Jon, you're a mench! Shalom!

That was wild from start to finish.

After his MTV show it was picked up for national syndication. Ran here in LA from 11-11:30 but never caught on enough to keep it alive. The rest is history. Since then with The Daily Show it has given star status to then-regulars Steve Carrell, Stephen Cobert, Ed Helms, Demetri Marin, and many others.

Ok that post-credit scene was gold

Letterman, what a cool dude.

Oh the cigar boom was happening! Love this!

13:00 - Jon mentioned this episode in the video "The Best Advice Jon Stewart Ever Received Was From David Letterman - After the Cut | The Daily Show" "Cancellation and I'm going to tell you something you know cancellation should not be confused with failure" What a great advice! Also, it is strange seeing Dave with a cigar

funny, they both had final show in the exact next twenty years.

I remember this exact period in time ... I thought Jon was good based on his stand-up ... and then I finally got around to watching his show and I watched one episode after another. By the tenth show in, I was hooked! Then, by the 11th show (this one) he was cancelled. Wish I'd seen them all!

Pierzing.glint1sh7 Because movies were shot on 35mm film, which has around 1400 to 2200 horizontal lines of resolution while analog TV had only about 300.

firecloud77 Analogue transmission was still A LOT clearer than this recording. It broadcast @ 480 lines, and this being cable/MTV it was pumped rather cleanly into most homes, so this is definitely not indicative of SD quality of the day, and more indicative of the issues with standard VCRs. Having worked in TV at the time, I can tell you that 3/4" , BetaCam/SuperBeta 1/2", and M2 recordings were all far FAR cleaner than this, and suffered less issues with transfer between dedicated machines with good clean BNC connections. The weakest link in earlier recording would be a camera using tubes casting slight yellow tinge in studio or especially with WB tansitions, although by this era when Jon's show was on 3CCD had already spread to most studios, especially network size. You want to see the calibre of the analogue recordings, check-out a bunch of TV shows transfered to DVD or rebroadcast now that weren't shot on film, they don't look anywhere near this bad, despite being 480i analogue SD source material. You can still see the obvious shift from SD to HD, but it's nowhere near this bad.

When Dave had fire and spirit, he gotten so mellow and was ready to retire.

Steve Higgins of SNL and The Tonight Show was the head writer of this show. He plays the bartender at the very end, after the credits.

I think the Paul Newman car reference is the same one that he also talked about on Jerry Seinfeld's 'Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee."

Was this show national? Was it on in Canada? Because I watch TV like a nutcase for more years than I'd care to say and I had no idea Stewart had a show before his current comedy-news-thingy. Or did I just forget? Did I mention I'm craaa-zy?
