Unlike the Colbert Report, The Daily Show isn't going off the air. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is leaving the airwaves tonight. We don't know quite what to expect for the future Daily Show.
Let's start by pointing out that the actual show is taking a hiatus until late September. The Daily Show with Trevor Noah debuts on September 28. We don't know how much time, if any, the new incarnation will spend on Canada, especially with veteran correspondents Samantha Bee and Jason Jones having jumped to greener pastures.
The Daily Show has been taking its own look back at the amazing Jon Stewart era, mostly in silly ways such as his singing ability, noises, and his (mostly early) ritual of saying he hadn't seen or read the guest's work.

We wanted to take our own look at what Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, Jason Jones, and others on and off the screen at the show have contributed to bringing awareness to Canada.
Maple syrup heist; building a bridge from Detroit to Windsor; "Is Iqaluit the capital of Nunavut?"; G20 protests; asbestos in Quebec; Rob Ford adventures; stable banks; Justin Bieber in the anchor chair; anchor babies; talking Canada with Ellen Page.
We should also acknowledge that the Comedy Central program runs on Comedy Channel and CTV in Canada. Yes, poking fun at Canada knowing that Canadians are also watching.
We are going to miss Jon Stewart and what he has brought to The Daily Show since 1999. We are especially going to miss what he and the rest of the crew have said about Canada.
