It was hard enough when we lost The Colbert Report, but at least we knew Stephen Colbert would grace us with his presence again when he takes over for David Letterman with The Late Show.
But now, the time has come, and we’re losing Jon Stewart.
The Daily Show has redefined what news commentary and entertainment looks like on television, and the mastermind behind the operation will be missed greatly by his huge and loyal fan base (which wholeheartedly includes yours truly).
The Funding Model for Cancer Innovation is Broken — We Can Fix It
Closing cancer health equity gaps require medical breakthroughs made possible by new funding approaches.
Tonight is Stewart’s last episode as host of The Daily Show, and for that reason, we’re providing six of the best recent healthcare-related segments that the show has aired.
1. Here’s when Stewart tore apart the Department of Veterans Affairs for its issues with providing adequate care for veterans – even after the launch of the $10 billion choice card program.
2. It’s the worst allergy season ever…always.
Market Trends to Watch for Health Systems and Their Specialty Pharmacies
The future looks bright for the integrated specialty pharmacy model – for health systems, providers, and most importantly, for patients.
3. Stewart had no problem poking fun at Congress for celebrating the oh-so-special bipartisan Doc Fix bill passing.
4. When The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics promoted the “Eat Right” label and endorsed products like Kraft Singles, of course Stewart was there to tear it apart.
5. This hilarious segment took a look at the pros and cons of why gun safety is considered a no-no when it comes to conversations about health, which came after Florida governor Rick Scott’s legislation that prohibits doctors from asking patients if they own guns.
6. The Daily Show went for it when it came to highlighting the issue with anti-vaxxers as discussion really heated up earlier this year.
We’ll miss you, Jon. A lot.
