Will the daily show die without Stewart?

Im sure they will find someone. Between Stewart and Colbert they have a good track record. Id bet on them to do so until proven wrong.

Yes

He's just to ingrained in the show for it to continue without him

Now if they change it the way they changed the Colbert report to a totally different show then it might

John Oliver is doing great, and you can watch his stuff on YouTube without subscribing to HBO. I think he is the new king of this genre.

The only things that are different with Oliver is that it is once a week and he doesn't do interviews. Jon Stewart actually did some interesting interviews.

We can only hope so.

I'll give the new guy a shot, but I'm not going to watch it just to watch it. If it sucks without Stewart, I'll find something else.

Don't care for Larry Wilmore's show either. Which is a shame, because he could be funny at times on the Daily Show.

yes, it was dying under Kilborn until Stewart came along.

I recall when Kilborn left. I thought it would suck. Instead, it evolved and got better.

Wilmores show is bad Bc he focuses so much on race. But Oliver did great on daily show and Colbert was great doing his thing. Odds are, it'll stay good if all the support cast remains.

I think it will be less relevant

Stewart's ability to mobilize a point of view is unusual and it takes not only a good support staff but also a person who can carry it off in a way that appeals to his base audience

The very little bits I've seen about the new guy seem funny but following someone who has been the best in his niche is a near impossible task (ask LW right now)

Wilmore is the one who should be the most upset about Stewart leaving. A strong lead gives him time to figure out what he wants to do with that show... hopefully that includes either reducing the guest panel to 2 people or eliminating that as a nightly format.
