The Daily Show`s Jon Stewart signed off his live broadcast at midnight 
Eastern Time on Election Day, and while he was visibly frustrated and 
somber, he tried his best to offer a hopeful message.

While the prospects for a victory for former President Donald Trump 
seemed to become apparent by the time his show ended, Stewart laid into 
pollsters as well as pundits for making useless, speculative 
predictions during election seasons:

	We don't, it hasn't been completely called yet. We don't 
	exactly know what all the results are going to be. Our time is 
	is running out. I do want to very quickly send a quick message 
	to all the the pollsters, the election pollsters, um, "Blow 
	me." I don't ever want to fucking hear from you again. Ever. 
	I don't ever want to hear, "We've corrected for the 
	overcorrection video with the voters!" You don't know shit 
	about shit, and I don't care for you. "We'll figure it out 
	next time. Oh, we were in the margin of `Blow Me.'"

	Look, look, look. Here's the thing. Well, here's what we know, 
	is that we don't really know anything, and that we're going 
	to come out of this election, and we're going to make all 
	kind of pronouncements about what this country is and what 
	this world is. And the truth is, we're not really going to 
	know shit. And we're going to make it seem like this is the 
	finality of our civilization. We're all going to have to wake 
	up tomorrow morning and work like hell to move the world to 
	the place that we prefer it to be. And I just want to point 
	out, just as a matter of perspective, that the lessons that 
	our pundits take away from these results that they will 
	pronounce with certainty will be wrong.

After a montage of broad pronouncements after elections going back to 
2008, Stewart continued:

	My point is this: FUUUUUUUUUCK! But this isn't the end. I 
	promise you, this is not the end. And we have to regroup, 
	and we have to continue to fight, and continue to work day 
	in and day out to create the better society for our children 
	for this world.
