>> Jon: HEY, THAT'S OUR SHOW!
JOIN US TOMORROW NIGHT AT 11:00.
NOW, I WOULD IMAGINE AS THIS SHOW IS AIRING, THERE MAY BE
INFORMATION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT THE AUDIENCE MIGHT NOT
BE AWARE OF, SO I WILL JUST TELL YOU.
DOUG HERZOG AND MICHELLE GAINLESS OF COMEDY CENTRAL GAVE
ME AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY 17 YEARS AGO TO PILOT
THIS WONDERFUL FRANCHISE.
AND I -- 17 YEARS IS THE LONGEST I HAVE EVER IN MY LIFE HELD
A JOB BY 16 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS.
(CHEERING) THANK YOU!
THE UPSHOT THERE BEING, I AM A TERRIBLE EMPLOYEE.
BUT IN MY HEART, I KNOW, IT IS TIME FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO HAVE
THAT OPPORTUNITY.
(AUDIENCE REACTS) NO!
NO!
I TOLD YOU THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
YOU PROBABLY KNOW.
NOT RIGHT AWAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE -- YOU KNOW, WE'RE STILL WORKING OUT DETAILS.
I'M UP IN SEPTEMBER.
MIGHT BE AROUND THEN, MIGHT BE DECEMBER, MIGHT BE JULY, WE'RE
STILL WORKING OUT DETAILS.
I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC PLANS.
GOT A LOT OF IDEAS.
I GOT A LOT OF THINGS IN MY HEAD.
I'M GOING TO HAVE DINNER ON A SCHOOL NIGHT WITH MY FAMILY, WHO
I HAVE HEARD FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES ARE LOVELY PEOPLE.
(LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW, I'M NOT GOING TO BE
HERE AND TRY AND SUM UP WHAT THIS PLACE HAS MEANT TO ME OVER
THE YEARS, BUT I COULDN'T DO THAT AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF TIME
AND I'VE GOT A MYRIAD OF PEOPLE TO THANK AND WE'LL GET TO THAT
OVER TIME.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE TOMORROW.
BUT THIS SHOW DOESN'T DESERVE AN EVEN SLIGHTLY RESTLESS HOST AND
NEITHER DO YOU.
I DON'T THINK I'M GOING TO MISS BEING ON TELEVISION EVERY DAY.
I'M GOING TO MISS COMING HERE EVERY DAY.
AND THIS IS WHERE -- I LOVE THE PEOPLE HERE.
THEY'RE THE BEST.
THEY'RE CREATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE AND KIND.
AND THAT'S ALLITERATIVE BUT IT'S CHEATING BECAUSE IT'S A K,
BUT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
THEY'RE -- I LOVE THEM AND RESPECT THEM SO MUCH.
>> WE LOVE YOU, JON!
>> Jon: YEAH!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) ANYWAY!
ARRRRR! WHAT IS THIS FLUID?
WHAT ARE THESE FEELINGS?
FRANKENSTEIN ANGRY!
(APPLAUSE) IT'S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PRIVILEGE,
IT'S BEEN THE HONOR OF MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
I THANK YOU FOR WATCHING IT, FOR HATING WATCHING IT.
WHATEVER REASON YOU ARE TUNING IN FOR, YOU GET IN THIS
BUSINESS WITH THE IDEA THAT MAYBE YOU HAVE A POINT OF VIEW
AND SOMETHING TO EXPRESS AND TO RECEIVE FEEDBACK FROM THAT IS
THE GREATEST FEELING YOU COULD ASK FOR, AND I THANK YOU.
