    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    Comedy Central says that Jon Stewart will leave "The Daily Show" as host later this year.

    His departure was announced by Comedy Central President Michele Ganeless after Stewart broke the news to the audience at Tuesday's taping in New York.

    Stewart took over the show in 1999. He took a several months-long hiatus in 2013 to direct "Rosewater," a film about an Iranian-born journalist who was imprisoned for 118 days in Tehran and accused of being a spy.

    The network lost another major host last year when Stephen Colbert left to take over David Letterman's late night show on CBS.

One of his proudest achievements was his work with Guillermo del Toro on the period horror-thriller Crimson Peak, whose gothic, richly textured and haunting production design defined the film’s tone and atmosphere. For this work, Sanders received the 2016 Saturn Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. His final project was Justin Lin’s Star Trek Beyond.
