Stewart was on MSNBC's Morning Joe -- a show Licht helped launch with Joe Scarborough -- this morning when Scarborough asked him about Licht taking over as head of CNN after serving as The Late Show's showrunner for nearly six years. “Oh yeah, Chris Licht, he’s going to take over CNN and I look forward to them coming back to Colbert in about three months," Stewart joked.
