Can we all not pretend it was Jon's best work? The show kinda sucked and wasn't nearly as good as the daily show.

John Oliver is doing so much better with his.

I believe the ratings weren't great to begin with. Apple was looking for reasons to cut him loose and he gave them one.

I wasn't a big fan myself, either. Still respect Jon, though, and Apple cancelling the show is pretty clearly about silencing "improper" voices and they deserve to be called out on it.

I agree. I watched the Daily Show from Craig Kilborn until the very end of Jon's run. He tried, but the balance between satire and serious was off. He's trying to make change and shed light into dark areas, but people don't want that the same way.
