A timelapse of Jon Stewart's 16 years at The Daily Show is mesmerising

After 16 years in charge, Jon Stewart's final show as host of The Daily Show will be August 6.

Daily Show fan Billy Chasen has put together a timelapse video of Stewart through from season 3 to 20.

You can note how Stewart gradually goes grey, briefly looks a lot like John Oliver, and how the quality of photoshops improves behind him.

It's a bit mesmerising.
