Jon Stewart and 'The Daily Show' say goodbye to Samantha Bee

Samantha Bee, the longest serving member of the Best F#@king News Team, said goodbye to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night. Her husband, Jason Jones, is also set to leave the show.

Stewart celebrated Bee’s decade-long stint at the show with a clip reel of some of her best pieces. They went all the way back to her coverage of the 2004 Republican National Convention, revealing that she never lost the wit that made her reports worth watching.

Stewart, who is also set to leave this year, said that the pieces he loved the best were the ones closest to her heart. In these moments, Bee got to press Republicans about a woman’s right to chose, brought up race relations and questioned one critic who thought that women shouldn’t serve in the military.

At the end of the segment, a tearful Bee said goodbye to the audience.

Bee announced plans to leave in March, since she will be getting her own satirical show on TBS. Jones is also leaving because he stars in a new TBS sitcom he co-created with Bee.

Stewart’s own last day will be on Aug. 6.

The Daily Show is certainly going to look very different when Trevor Noah takes over.

Here’s The Daily Show’s tribute. You can check out other great Bee pieces here.
