"But let me tell you something, and I truly mean this, what upsets me about this situation is that first of all you're just a tremendous human and one of my favorite people. So that's all. Praising Colbert as able to do anything as he moved on, Stewart turned his ire to Trump: But the ubiquitous bloviating of the commander-in-chief has put us all as defined as who we are in opposition to him. And it's just a ridiculous framing. It's a minute portion of the joy machine that you call your show, and it's annoying."
"Stewart appeared on The Late Show on Tuesday night for a sit-down with his former colleague and friend ahead of show's final episode, which is scheduled to air on Thursday.

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart appeared together as Colbert prepared for his final Late Show episode. Colbert noted that he would be the only remaining late-night host within the CBS/Paramount corporate family.

Stewart then turned serious, saying he wanted the electorate to repudiate the putrid administration, expressing hope for that day and receiving cheers from the audience.
