During Monday's Daily Show, Jon Stewart announced that the Aug. 6 broadcast will be his last.

Stewart waited until the end of the episode to make his announcement, and while he didn't give any details about what will happen on that final show, he did remind viewers that there is a contest underway to give a fan the opportunity to attend his last taping, Variety reports. Stewart did not say when new host Trevor Noah's first show will air.
