Jon Stewart will sign off from "The Daily Show" for the last time on Thursday night, but his set will live on at the Newseum in Washington D.C.
The museum dedicated to championing the First Amendment will put the set on display in a future exhibit, according to the Newseum website. Stewart has served as the host of the Comedy Central show since 1999, successfully mixing current events and satire to win over millennial audiences.
"We are thrilled to accept the donation of these artifacts to the Newseum collection," Cathy Trost, senior vice president of exhibits and programs at the Newseum, said in a statement. "They are part of America's cultural and media history, telling an important story about how political satire and news as humor made 'The Daily Show' a trusted news source for a generation."
Stewart will hand over the hosting reins to South African comedian Trevor Noah, who will take over "The Daily Show" starting on Sept. 28. Noah will shift the focus of the show to spurning online media outlets such as Buzzfeed and Gawker and away from cable news like CNN and Fox News.
