Jon Stewart to host final 'The Daily Show' on August 6

Los Angeles: Jon Stewart has announced that August 6 would be his final broadcast of 'The Daily Show' before new host Trevor Noah takes over.

Stewart did not give out too many details about the final show. He, however, is hosting a contest to allow the show's fans to attend his final outing as the host, reported Variety.

Noah, a relatively unknown comic, faced a tough time when Twitter users uncovered a series of jokes that they found offensive.

Stewart had a 16 year stint as the host.
