re: Will the daily show die without Stewart?

His humor seems way dryer than Stewart's.

This is why I think he'll actually work nicely in the spot. He's different enough that he won't just be compared to Stewart. He shouldn't have a hard time playing the straight man with the correspondents. Plus, as John Oliver showed, the foreign lens is a nice jumping off point for satire and social commentary.

There will be a transition with the writers learning how to write for him, but the move makes way more sense than Larry Wilmore to replace Colbert.
