We all know that Jon Stewart’s departure from The Daily Show is inevitable someday, but it’s one of those things no one likes to think about, like antibiotic-resistant superbugs, the reality that sitting will probably kill you and the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch is getting married.

However with his first film Rosewater, in theaters this week, it's hard to ignore the fact that Stewart may have career aspirations outside The Daily Show studio.

The newly-minted film director spoke with Fresh Air host Terry Gross about the fact that (brace yourself) he will probably leave his post as host of The Daily Show at some point in our lifetime.

Proving that he is just like the rest of us, as Mediaite pointed out, Stewart used a Seinfeld reference to explain his feelings about leaving the show.

In the interview, Stewart reminded listeners that on Seinfeld, George Constanza broke up with his girlfriend Susan, only to change his mind and decide that he was going to marry her instead. “And he was all excited and he did it and she took him back,” Stewart said in the interview. “And there’s that scene of him walking up the stairs with her to the apartment and the minute he starts walking up the stairs he goes, ‘What have I done?’”

“That’s what you’re trying to balance,” Stewart said after admitting that he will probably never find a job he is “as well suited for” as hosting the Comedy Central talk show. “That being said, I think there are moments when you realize that that’s not enough anymore, or maybe it’s time for some discomfort,” he said, while dancing around the fact that he has a contract renewal coming up in 2015.

While Stewart should be free to pursue his dreams, many of us would be sad to be unable to watch “the most influential man in America” on a near-nightly basis. That said, we have time to prepare ourselves and no thinking, breathing human would prematurely bail on a show that has interviews with both Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne scheduled for next week.
