'What will I think?' Bette Midler sorry to see Jon Stewart leave 'The Daily Show'

Jon Stewart and Comedy Central announced this week that the longtime host of “The Daily Show” will be leaving.

They didn’t consult with Bette Midler first:

Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show?! NOOOOOOOO! Say it ain't so! What better platform could he find? an election year? What will I think?

Whatever Midler thinks in the post-Stewart era, we’re sure it will be interesting.
