Stewart hosted "The Daily Show" for nearly 17 years, starting in 1999. When he leaves, he'll be the highest-paid late-night host, commanding a salary of $25-$30 million per year.
To put that number in perspective, newer late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon currently make a reported $10 million and $11 million, respectively.
How does Stewart's 17-year tenure compare to that of other late-night hosts?
Take a look at the graphic below to see where Stewart falls among the late-night greats.
