The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents Democalypse 2014: South By South Mess

With “The Daily Show” ending this week, the show’s set will be donated to the Newseum — a museum dedicated to journalism — in Washington, D.C.

“We are thrilled to accept the donation of these artifacts to the Newseum collection,” said Cathy Trost, who is the Newseum’s senior vice president of exhibits and programs, 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’s first episode of the show aired in 1999. In February, he announced he’d be retiring from the wildly popular satirical news show.
