Dean Smith, the former University of North Carolina men's basketball coach who retired in 1997 as the all-time leader in Division 1 victories, died Saturday night at his home.

He was 83 years old.

Smith coached the Tar Heels from 1961 to 1997, compiling a career record of 879-254 and winning NCAA championships in 1982 and 1993.

The school also reached the Final Four 11 times under Smith.

"We are grateful for all the thoughts and prayers, and appreciate the continued respect for our privacy as arrangements are made available to the public. Thank you," Smith's family said in the statement.

At the time of his passing, Smith was surrounded by his wife and five children.

Over the course of his legendary reign, Smith coached such stars as Sam Perkins, Bob McAdoo, James Worthy and Michael Jordan.

Due serious health issues, wife Linnea accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Smith's behalf from President Barack Obama in November 2013.

"It's such a great loss for North Carolina -- our state, the University, of course the Tar Heel basketball program, but really the entire basketball world," said current Tar Heels coach Roy Williams, who spent 10 years as an assistant under Smith.

"We lost one of our greatest ambassadors for college basketball for the way in which a program should be run. We lost a man of the highest integrity who did so many things off the court to help make the world a better place to live in."

Last month, beloved SportsCenter anchor Stuart Scott died. The reporter was also a member of the University of North Carolina family.

THG sends our thoughts and prayers to Smith's loved ones.

The biggest names in music will gather this evening in Los Angeles for the 57th annual Grammy Awards.

But many of these huge names also got together ahead of time at a concert featuring Big Sean last night.

It was held at the House of Blues in West Hollywood and those in attendance included Jennifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, Demi Lovato, J. Cole, Kanye West, Justin Bieber and Chris Brown.

We never thought the wildly popular 2014 Oscars selfie could ever be topped in terms of sheer star power, but take a look below:

Epic Pre-Grammys Selfie

Did you ever expect to see all these faces in one frame?

Lovato - who is included in the snapshot, just look carefully - shared the picture on her Instagram account.

Big Sean was quite moved by the massive show of celebrity support, writing on Twitter after this image went viral:

Me, my mom, my bro, Kanye, jay z, meek, Jlo, Calvin Harris, Chris brown, Travis Scott, J cole, justin, my fam, my fans, my friends, etc... In one building.

Which gather do you find more impressive? This pre-Grammy Awards photo or the aforementioned picture snapped at least year's Academy Awards and posted here?

Better Call Saul Season 1 Episode 1 Recap: Who is Jimmy McGill?

The hype for Better Call Saul Season 1 Episode 1 hit unattainable levels a couple weeks ago.

At least one website dared to say the AMC spinoff was better than Breaking Bad.

That's sheer lunacy, of course, and we aren't about to compare the premiere of one series with the entirety of the greatest series in television history.

Better Call Saul Premiere Photo

But Better Call Saul is off to a strong start.

We opened with a quick look at what became of Saul Goodman: after getting the heck out of Walter White's Dodge, he works at a Cinnabon in Nebraska, goes by the name "Gene" and is looking over his shoulder at every turn.

We know how Saul Goodman arrived at this place. But we spent the rest of the hour learning how a man born Jimmy McGill turned into Saul Goodman.

Jimmy is desperate to make it big as an attorney. He works as a public defender. He barely gets by. His office is in the back of a beauty salon.

Bob Odenkirk is fantastic at portraying Jimmy as both vulnerable and pathetic, yet smooth talking and sure of himself when need be; like when he tries to land a potentially big client but loses them to a giant law firm.

That giant law firm includes as its partner Jimmy's brother, Chuck. He suffers from a disease in which he cannot be exposed to electromagnetic pulses of any kind.

As a result, he hasn't worked in a year and Jimmy wants him to cash out his partnership stake and pocket around $17 million... largely so Jimmy can have some of it, of course.

But Chuck is determined to beat his disease and return to the office someday. And he has the backing of his firm, who doesn't want to shell out eight figures to their ill colleague.

Jimmy is therefore in a corner. He's desperate. He sees no means to the ends of having money, which he emphasizes is totally "the point" in an argument with his brother.

So he works with two local small-time con artists to try and pull a larger con that could net them a few grand.. but it instead puts a gun in Jimmy's face to close the episode. And that gun is being held by Tuco!

Breaking Bad fans will smile broadly at that closing reveal, as well as at the opening few minutes when we catch back up with Saul.

But even those who have never heard of Heisenberg should appreciate the pace of the premiere, the story of Jimmy McGill and the journey we're about to go on to see how this WAY down on his luck attorney builds himself a legal ends up on top. For a short while at least.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Adopting a SEVENTH Child?!

They're not quite Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have quite the sizable brood.

Brad and Angie are already parents to six kids - ranging in age from 6 to 13 - and they're reportedly planning to expand their clan by adopting a 2-year-old Syrian boy named Moussa.

At Maleficent Premiere

Several media outlets are reporting that Moussa is living in a refugee camp in Turkey, waiting for his adoption into the Jolie-Pitt family to be finalized.

Jolie reportedly met the child while visiting the camp as part of her humanitarian work for UNICEF.

Jolie and Pitt got married in August, but have been together for over a decade. They adopted their first child together in 2005.

Both known for hard partying in their youths, Pitt and Jolie have now fully devoted themselves to parenting, and have been applauded for their selfless commitment to their children's happiness.

Brad and Angie's kids most recently made headlines when it was rumored that 8-year-old Shiloh Jolie-Pitt had decided to identify as a boy and asked family members to refer to her as John.

That report has yet to be confirmed, but the couple has spoken openly about allowing their children the freedom to dress and identify themselves as they please.

The Jolie-Pitts also have yet to confirm that little Moussa is soon to join their family, but insiders have indicated that an announcement will be made within the next week. 

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard: Married! For the Second Time This Month!

Guys, it's great to have one wedding, but TWO?! Now we're talking.

Us magazine is reporting that Johnny Depp married Amber Heard in a small ceremony in a cove that overlooks the ocean, with about two dozen chairs set aside for guests.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard

Paul Bettany the Actor/Director/Scariest guy in the world in The Da Vinci Code (when he was the self-mutilating baddie! Yuck!) witnessed the vows, along with Depp's two children Lily-Rose (15) and Jack (12).

While this is Johnny's second marriage and Amber's first, it is both of their second time performing these particular marriage vows to each other, as Depp and Heard were officially married last week in West Hollywood.

Why get married twice? Well, it's a celebrity thing. The first time is for the family and friends, and the second time is for the public.

The previous ceremony took place at Depp's home, it was small and intimate. This one had snorkeling, drinking, music ... the works!

But really, what blushing bride doesn't want to opportunity to dress-up twice, and to get married to Johnny Depp twice? It's a little girl's dream come true - LITERALLY, as Amber Heard was a little girl when Johnny was first becoming a Hollywood heartthrob.

Heard (28) met Johnny (51) on the set of the movie The Rum Diary in 2011, and have been together ever since.

According to a source close to the couple, "things are in a great place with them", which is probably good since they just got married twice.

Will they go for the tri-fecta? Only time will tell. Maybe we just hope these first two take.

LeAnn Rimes Throws Shade at Katy Perry on Instagram!

As you've probably heard, the 2015 Grammy Awards were held last night, and some celebs were openly miffed that they weren't invited.

In most cases, there was no real reason for them to attend, but in order to understand washed-up celebrity mentality you have to imagine giving an ice cream cone to a toddler, then taking it away and forcing him to watch as another kid devours it.

Or, you can just think of LeAnn Rimes.

When LeAnn isn't bragging about contributing to a food drive, she's reminding us all that she used to be a big deal in the world of music.

LeAnn Rimes at the Grammys, 1996

The photo above is from 1996, which is roughly four centuries ago in show business years, but that didn't stop LeAnn from posting it over the weekend, with the following catty caption:

"Before Katy Perry shot whip cream from her cones, I had a pair of my own. #14 #WhatWereYouDoingAt14 #StillSurreal"

Yeah, were you doing at 14, Katy Perry? Not winning Grammys, that's for sure!

Of course, now that you're a grown woman you're more likely spend your weekend playing the Super Bowl halftime show then sitting around reminiscing about the last time anyone gave a crap about your music, so there's that.

It's sad to think of LeAnn googling herself and then posting that pic to her Instagram page in a desperate bid for attention. Or maybe we should say, it's sad until you remember how much LeAnn sucks, then it's just funny. 

The Grammys: 21 GIFs of Love, Happyness, Celebration, and Kanye

From the triumphant moments to the buzz-worthy performances and plenty of great scenes from the audience, the 2015 Grammy Awards ceremony had it all.

Here, we look back at 21 of the best moments in GIFs:

Sam Smith thanked his ex for inspiring him (weirdly, he didn't thank Tom Petty). Madonna twerked ... kinda ... ish ... then got twirled around by a Matador ... kinda ... ish.

Arianna Grande and Big Sean got all PDA-ish, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen danced in their seats, McCartney kinda danced in his, Jay Z and Beyonce hugged, Kim Kardashian looked confused, and Kanye ...

Well Kanye was Kanye.

Kanye showed up for the first time in six years and "pretended" to interrupt Beck. Program note: pretending to interrupt is the same thing as actually interrupting, Kanye. But we'll let it slide.

Kanye has famously never won a Grammy for album of the year, even though he all but demanded it in 2005, saying "If I don’t win Album of the Year, I’m really gonna have a problem with that."

Well, somehow that approach hasn't worked yet, and still the Grammys march on without feeling obligated to serve Kanye up with anything other than another performance opportunity, and an opportunity to run his mouth.

This year, Kanye insulted Beck, saying that he should've given the Album of the Year award to Beyonce, and insinuated that he and the other "real artists" are through "playing" with The Grammys.

Meanwhile, his confused muse, Kim Kardashian showed up in this dress, which was the closest thing to elegant about either of them.

Taylor Swift looked fierce, as did Rihanna and Paul McCartney. But the real story was Yeezus, and his entitled tirade after the show.

Was their a saving grace? Well, as always it was Beyonce with a moving gospel performance that closed the show.

Beck nearly had his big night ruined at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.

The artist stunned many in attendance when his name was called as the Album of the Year recipient, with Kanye West actually jumping on stage and nearly interrupting Beck's acceptance speech, 2009 MTV Video Music Awards style.

But, as you can see below, Kanye laughed and went back to his seat before things got too awkward.

Kanye West Interrupts Beck

HOWEVER, West was dead serious in later railing against the Grammys, saying Beyonce deserved to win Album of the Year and even adding that Beck ought to give her his trophy.

How does Beck feel about this criticism? Just fine, thanks!

"I was just so excited he was coming up," Beck told reporters of Kanye's stage appearance. "He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody. How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?

"You can’t please everybody, man. I still love him and think he’s genius. I aspire to do what he does."

But what about the concept that Beyonce deserves his Grammy Award?

"Absolutely. I thought she was going to win. Come on, she’s Beyonce," Beck replied.

Aside from criticizing Beck, Kanye also performed at the Grammys.

Taylor Swift Talks Post-Grammys Partying: Lots of Cats, No Men

Taylor Swift had quite the night at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

Not only did GIFs of Taylor dancing go viral, but she managed to avoid getting Kanye'd. (That was Beck's honor this year.)

All in all, a pretty good night for T-Swift. So how did she celebrate? By hanging with her besties and some cats, of course:

Note the painful awkwardness of the moment that Nancy O'Dell says Swift will be hanging out with "lots of men" after the show.

Taylor seems momentarily taken aback, but she recovers gracefully and informs O'Dell of how it's really gonna go down:

"I'm not gonna walk home with any men tonight," Taylor quickly corrects the clueless ET host. "I'm gonna go hang out with my friends, and then I'm gonna go home and hang out with the cats."

It's good to hear that Taylor isn't shying away from the the title of World's Most Fabulous Cat Lady, but she didn't quite succeed in her goal of avoiding all forms of dude drama.

Not only did her ex John Mayer provide one of the evening's highlights when he took the stage with Ed Sheeran, but Taylor posed with Diplo in a selfie that seemed to suggest the beef between the two was - at least temporarily - squashed.

Of course, it wouldn't be the Grammys unless Taylor was surrounded by exes and haters. We think next year she should send a message by bringing on of her cats as her date.

Bruce Jenner Criticized By Transgender Community: Just Come Out Already!

As you've no doubt heard by now, Bruce Jenner's sex change has been confirmed, and the former Olympian is coming out in style.

The E! network has reportedly already begun production on a reality show about Bruce's transition, and the news is on the cover of every tabloid in America.

Many have praised Jenner for his bravery in dealing with the amount of attention he's received in recent weeks, but some members of the transgender community believe Bruce should be ashamed of himself for what they see as an opportunistic cash grab.

Noted journalist and helicopter pilot Zoey Tur completed her own transition last year, and she's speaking out against Bruce, claiming that he's using his transition to boost his career.

"We need out role models, and there's no greater role model than the world's greatest athlete," Tur tells TMZ Live.

"Many feel that Jenner is pitching a reality show and using this build-up to gain more momentum and getting paid to do an interview, and they don't like it...This is not about selling TV shows. This is about saving lives."

Sources say Jenner has brushed off the criticism, telling friends that the transitioning process is not "one size fits all," and Tur has no right to criticize his chosen method of sharing his news with the world.

The insiders say that part of the reason Bruce waited until so late in his life to go public is that he wanted to be sure all of his children would be old enough to understand his decision and cope with any criticism they might face.

"He's still going through the motions and wants to take his time to help his youngest daughters cope," says one source. "It's not about a TV show or announcement."

Other insiders close to the family say Bruce's kids have been supportive throughout the difficult process of coming out.

Better Call Saul Breaks Ratings Records!

The verdict is in for Better Call Saul, and the people have determined that the highly-anticipated Breaking Bad prequel is every bit as addictive as its predecessor.

Saul posted some of AMC's best numbers ever for a series premiere last night, and the series set a new record for ratings in the all important 18-49 year old demographic.

The series suffered a 57% drop from its lead-in The Walking Dead, because people really love their zombies, but even so, Better Call Saul Season 1 Episode 1 was a resounding success with critics and audiences alike.

Saul pulled in 6.9 million viewers with an astonishing 4.4 million of the 18-49 demo. To put that in perspective, the series premiere of Breaking Bad received about 1.4 million viewers.

Of course, 2008 was a very different time, and Saul certainly owes part of its success to the enduring popularity of BB.

Astonishingly, some critics have already declared that Saul is better than Breaking Bad, and while it may be a little early for such jaw-dropping assessments (Did they already forget how amazing BB was?), with ratings like last night's, Saul should have plenty of future seasons with which to make its case.

Saul has already been renewed for a second season and its second episode debuts tonight at 10 pm on AMC.

If you missed it, or you just wanna relive the awesomeness of Jimmy's con with the skateboard twins, you can watch Better Call Saul online at TV Fanatic.

The music of the 2015 Grammy Awards featured something for everyone.

We're talking Madonna, Beyonce, John Legend, Common, Ariana Grande, Annie Lennox, Katy Perry, Kanye, Pharrell, Brooke Axtell, Barack Obama, and Kristen Wiig.

(What?! ... yes, Kristen danced for Sia!!! Anyone see that coming?!)

Check out the most memorable performances from the show below:

The Kanye complaint portion of the show was in full effect last night, as he once again stormed the stage during Beck's speech. And today we got to hear Beck's rebuttal to Kanye.

Celebrity silliness aside, the music was nothing short of terrific last night.

As far as the actual talent was concerned, Madonna's twerking performance was the talk of the night, along with Beyonce's brilliant gospel performance.

And then there was the collaboration no one could've predicted.

Kristen Wiig danced to Sia's Chandelier, after a heartfelt intro from Shia LaBeouf, and Annie Lennox brought the house down along with Hozier.

Chris Brown Responds to Domestic Violence Diss: No One's Perfect!

Via speeches from President Barack Obama and activist Brooke Axtell (who introduced Katy Perry's live performance) the Grammy Awards took on the issue of domestic violence last night.

The event raised awareness for the It's On Us campaign, an organization dedicated to the issue of sexual assault.

It was a bold move and an admirable move... but it was also a hypocritical move, according to Alexander Gaskarth.

Chris Brown at Grammy Awards 2015

"Wow. Unbelievable. Maybe #ItsOnUs to not invite people like @chrisbrown to the fcking Grammys. Am I wrong?," the All Time Low singer Tweeted. "I'm all for atonement and forgiveness, but it seems a little crass to me..."

Brown, of course, gave then-girlfriend Rihanna a black eye after a pre-Grammys party in 2009 - he was in attendance at last night's ceremony.

And many took note of the hypocrisy, saying Brown's presence undercut the important message sent by Perry and company.

Brown remained relatively calm in his response to Gaskarth, Tweeting back to the artist:

"you sound really perfect brother... How can I get those VIP tickets to the pearly gates bro... Seems like you have it down."

To his credit, Gaskarth did not back down.

"I'm not worried about the pearly gates RN, man," he Tweeted. "Worried about here and now... And double standards. And the messages we send."

What do you think, readers? Should Brown have been disinvited to the Grammys, given its focus on domestic abuse? Or should all be forgiven when it comes to the singer?

Does he make a good point, that no human being is perfect? Or is it not too much to ask that men simply don't bludgeon the faces of women and "perfection" has nothing to do with it?

Justin Bieber: Taking Anger Management Classes, Not Doing Community Service Due to Soccer Injury

Justin Bieber has been in anger management classes but has not done any community service due to a soccer injury, according to a ridiculous new report.

The 20-year-old's lawyer, Shawn Holley, was in court this morning for a progress report in the case involving the singer egging his neighbor's house.

Thus far, Justin has completed nine out of 12 anger management classes, as per the plea deal he copped to keep his punk arse out of the slammer.

As for the community service he also must complete, Holley said Bieber screwed up ... his foot and thus could not pick up trash or remove graffiti.

Somehow, hurting one's self in a pickup soccer game in Turks and Caicos seems like a B.S. excuse, but Holley submitted a doctor's note to the judge.

That appeared to do the trick, as did his positive report from a probation officer lauding Bieber, who he said "has displayed a cooperative attitude."

Justin Bieber, as he has expressed publicly, his showing "a sincere desire to be more diligent in complete anger management and community labor." 

He was also supposed to attend one anger management session per week, and he's fallen short of by three out of 12. Not terrible, but room for improvement.

Bieber is on two years probation for egging his neighbor, who he has already paid $80,900 for the damage he caused during his rebellious phase.

He's been walking the walk as well as talking the talk so far in his vow to be a better person, so we would think he'll step up his probation game soon.

We hope.

Earlier today, it was reported that Bobbi Kristina Brown would be taken off of life support tomorrow, which happens to be the anniversary of Whitney Houston's death.

There were conflicting reports regarding who made the decision, with some outlets reporting that Bobby Brown chose the date, and others claiming that Cissy Houston traveled to Bobbi Kristina's bedside in order to make the difficult call herself.

Now, Us Weekly is reporting that a source within the Houston family has stated that Bobbi Kristina will most assuredly not be removed from life support on Wednesday.

"No truth to it at all," the insider reportedly said, when asked about the decision.

The source was unable to offer any new information on if or when the family does plan to remove the comatose 21-year-old from life support.

"We're continuing to pray," the source said, vaguely. The reply may indicate that the family is still hoping for a miracle, despite the fact that doctors have informed them that Bobbi Kristina is "not going to make it."

It's been over a week since the young aspiring singer was found unconscious in her bathtub, but there is still no definitive answer as to what led to her current state. 

It was revealed this week that Bobbi's partner, Nick Gordon is being investigated and that foul play is suspected.


Kevin Gates Kicks Woman Out of Home For Refusing to Perform Oral Sex on Dog

Last month, rapper Kevin Gates revealed that he has sex with his cousin in a series of Instagram videos that you really have to see to believe.

If you were afraid that Gates wouldn't be able to top that shocking admission, worry no longer.

Here he is talking about the time he kicked a woman out of his house for refusing to have oral sex with his dog:

Things start off innocently enough (kind of), and for a glorious second, you think this will just be another case of a douchey rapper bragging about one of his sexual conquests.

Savor that second, because you can never go back to the innocence you enjoyed before you listened to Kevin Gates talking about trying to get a woman to go down on his dog.

"'I'm not about to suck no dog's d-ck,'" Gates quotes the woman as saying. "That's a dog!"

Sounds like a pretty reasonable argument to us, but Gates was having none of it:

"What's your sh-t smell like sh-t for?" Gates replied in the witty rhetorical fashion for which he is known. "I don't get that."

In case you were wondering, "I don't get that" is apparently some sort of catchphrase for Gates.

Yes, the guy who's best known for having sex with a blood relative and attempting to convince women to fellate his dog apparently often finds himself confused by the actions of others. We don't get that.

Earlier this month, the actress opened up about motherhood while hosting an Operation Shower event at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California.

"[It's] definitely a trip. It's the best thing I've ever done! It's amazing how your life gets shifted.

"You think you've got life figured out and you've got a great perspective, you have a child and then you're like, 'Okay, none of that stuff matters!'"

Jax Taylor Reveals: Did Kristen Doute Ruin Scheana Marie's Wedding?

If you watched Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 15 last night, then you know it ended with a cliffhanger.

Yes, after a few false starts, Scheana and Shay tied the knot, but we all knew that was gonna happen. What we really wanna know is - does psycho Kristen go crazy and ruin the reception?

Fortunately, we have Jax Taylor to answer that question, and we all know how much he sucks at keeping secrets!

Asked by OK! magazine if Kristen pulls a Kristen and makes the whole event all about her insane drama, Jax pretty much answers just as you would expect him to:

"She's crazy, she's crazy," Jax answers without hesitation. "The one day you ask her not to screw anything up."

Naturally, the topic of the countless Jax Taylor gay rumors came up also, and while in the past, Taylor has vehemently denied that he ever sampled the sausage, this simply got all flustered and dodged the question. There's no shame in it, bruh!

Another revelation that is actually something of a surprise - when asked if Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana (as Jax has been claiming all season), Jax's answer is...

"I don't know!" Then why have you been saying it all season, Jax? What are you, just that big of a douche? Actually, never mind. We already know the answer to that question.

Unfortunately, Jax didn't provide any specifics regarding Kristen's meltdown, so we'll just have to wait until next week. Watch Vanderpump Rules online at TV Fanatic, if you're not caught up.

Jennifer Aniston, sitcom star, movie star, yoga-guru, Brad Pitt cheating survivor, ageless 30 year old, hair-style innovator, and now an official Oscar snubbee, will still be a presenter at the 87th Academy Awards on February 22

Jennifer Aniston at Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Her bootstraps have been pulled-up more times than any of us can count.

1) We just passed the ten-year anniversary of her famous split with Brad Pitt,

2) She's endured a TWO-YEAR engagement to actor/director/writer/wedding-procrastinator Justin Theroux, who may or MAY NOT deserve her at this point (though he's very funny and talented - see his movies), based on a number of cheating rumors.

3) She is locked in an unending feud with fellow mega-star/Bradd Pitt spouse Angelina Jolie.

4) She's been through the relationship ringer with Adam Duritz, John Mayer, and Vince Vaughn, to name a few. 

5) She's the only one to survive the Friends curse and actually have a career outside of the show.

And now, after years of good roles and some not-so-good roles, she finally zeroes-in on an academy caliber part, and they snub her. Yup! They snubbed the crap out of her (and Jolie, by the way), and yet she still ... SHE STILL... is willing to present?

This is a woman who can't be stopped, who can't be slowed down, who can't be killed. Her career has withstood more slings and arrows than any I can think of, and yet she still ranks amongst the highest grossing female stars of all time.

If the Academy won't recognize her, then us do it:

Jon Stewart: Retiring From The Daily Show!

Big news from the world of fake news today, as longtime Daily Show host Jon Stewart reportedly announced during today's taping that he will be leaving the show that made him an unexpected giant in the world of political punditry.

Audience members who witnessed the announcement quickly began spreading the word across social media, and just moments ago, Comedy Central issued an official statement confirming that Stewart will leave the network some time in 2015.

"Jon will remain at the helm of The Daily Show until later this year," writes Comedy Central president Michele Ganeless. "He is a comic genius, generous with his time and talent, and he will always be a part of the Comedy Central family."

Stewart transformed The Daily Show from a celeb-skewering late night oddity to a must-watch for fans of left-leaning political comedy when he took over from then-host Craig Kilborn in 1999.

In the years since, Stewart blurred the line between humor and news, eventually becoming more trusted than MSNBC in the eyes of viewers.

Stewart has not given any clues as to what might be the next step in his career.

Stewart took a hiatus from The Daily Show last summer in order to direct the film Rosewater, and many are already speculating that his future might lie behind the camera.

Whatever path he chooses, Jon Stewart will be fondly remembered as the man who made us laugh while boldly holding politicians and journalists accountable for their actions.

We'll have more on this story as it develops.
