Your support makes all the difference.Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show wasn’t the only thing that brought tears to viewers' eyes on Thursday evening.
Stewart’s decision to retire from the satirical news programme after a 16-year reign was the end of an era marked with tributes from across the world.
But despite his departure looming over the final episode, everyone managed to keep a largely dry eye - or at least they did until Stewart, a decades-long Springsteen fan, was spotted throwing some unabashed shapes during 'Born to Run'.
Stewart’s replacement Trevor Noah clearly has some big shoes to fill.
