Former Daily Show host Jon Stewart made a cameo appearance on Thursday night’s finale of The Nightly Show to wish Larry Wilmore the best before cancellation and informed him that he shouldn’t “confuse cancellation with failure” because his fellow far-left comedian actually did resonate for having “started a conversation that was not on television when you began” about race in America. 

Stewart kicked off his tribute to Wilmore as he sat quietly next to him that he had a show that was canned and when that happened, “a very wise man said to me: do not confuse cancellation with failure.”
