Jon Stewart will sit behind the desk on “The Daily Show” set for the last time tonight.

During his 2,600-episode, 15-year reign, Stewart turned the late-night comedy show into a primary source of news for millions of Americans.

NPR TV critic Eric Deggans joins Here & Now’s Robin Young to talk about his favorite Stewart moments, and where the journalist-comedian might be headed next.
