Their departures sneaked up on us way too fast. Plus we weren't ready to say goodbye.
We know Samantha Bee and her husband, Jason Jones, will move on to projects where they are more of the focus at TBS. We know they will get to experience being executive producers. We know TBS will be a good outlet for their talents.
They gave us so much at 11 pm Eastern on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Channel in Canada and Comedy Central in the United States and in and around midnight on CTV in Canada. So much of that … was Canadian.
Jason Jones and the maple syrup caper in Quebec. Samantha Bee with countless references to the Beer Store in Ontario. Bee and Jones pretending to smoke crack in Canada with Bee asking one of the more obscure questions of all-time, "Is Iqaluit the capital of Nunavut?" Yes it is Sam. Yes it is.
Great Canadian moments. For the first time in 12 years, there is no visible Canadian influence on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
They may be U.S. citizens now but their Canadian-ness remains as part of their legacy at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Here is our coverage of some of their most Canadian-type adventures.
