A look at Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" set.
Comedy Central is donating the set to Washington D.C.'s First Amendment museum, the Newseum, after Stewart's final sign-off on Thursday after hosting Comedy Central's fake news show for 16 years.
"From 'The Daily Show' anchor desk, Jon Stewart dissected the news with blistering wit and wisdom as millions watched," said the Newseum's Senior Vice President of Exhibits and Programs, Cathy Trost, said in a statement.
The Daily Show/Comedy Central Jon Stewart began hosting the "The Daily Show" in 1999.
"The Daily Show" set will join other important holdings at the Newseum, including actual 12-foot-high sections of the Berlin Wall; the Journalists Memorial, which celebrates those who lost their lives reporting news, and the most comprehensive collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs ever assembled.
A new "Daily Show" set will debut when Trevor Noah takes over the show on September 8.
