Comedian and TV host Jon Stewart announced that August 6th, 2015 will be his final episode as host of The Daily Show, according to Variety.com.

Jon Stewart now has a firm departure date from Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” The comic announced on Monday’s broadcast of the program that he will leave the show after its August 6th broadcast.

The disclosure paves the way for the show’s new host, Trevor Noah, and suggests that Stewart will not hang around as candidates start to make announcements this year about running in the 2016 election for U.S. President.Stewart had said previously that he would continue to do the program until some time between July and the end of 2015.

Stewart made the announcement at the very end of the evening’s broadcast, just before rolling the program’s signature “Moment of Zen” final segment. He offered few details about what he might do for his final broadcast, but did reiterate a contest that would give a viewer the chance to attend the program’s last taping.
