The average American worker is going to have about 12 jobs in their life. My expert opinion leads me to believe they're going to like about half of them, get health insurance from some of them, and suffer through, you know, clip art filled PowerPoints at all of them. So far, I've had so many jobs in my life, and they've each

shaped me in various ways. I was a tea sample, giver, outer at grocery stores, a teen bank teller,

like I couldn't even really see over the marble teller pod. What do you call that? It's a counter. Oh,

God. I was a phone operator at an erectile dysfunction clinic, which was, yes, a real job for money,

not just for comedy. And my longest job to date was as a correspondent on The Daily Show with

John Stewart from 2003 to 2015. Frankly,

people in the industry like to say that I'm the longest serving correspondent in the show's

history, which is nice because it makes me feel both accomplished and old. Great. Leaving the

Daily Show was such a complicated career decision. It obviously had been my

dream job. It paved the way for me to relocate to New York, where I was raising a family with my

husband, who also happened to work with me at The Daily Show. But, you know, part of having a job,

even a job that you love, means at some point you're probably going to have to

leave that job. Things are different now. And we both started getting that feeling after we'd

hit the decade mark at the daily show. Like nothing about the job had particularly changed,

but we had changed. We had been there a long time. We were very experienced. We were busy doing other stuff. And we felt organically that we needed to make a change. So when it was announced, there was going to be a regime change at the show. We knew that it was our time to move on no matter what. It was just we were going to move on. But just because the timing was exactly right didn't mean it was an easy decision, because even when you love something, you can outgrow it. And it was our time to be challenged, I guess, by something new. My something new was my own show, full frontal on TBS, which really was a startup compared to the show that I was leaving. I knew that it wouldn't have

as many viewers or social media followers or Emmys in its back pocket, but at least it would be

mine for however long it lasted. It would be full of my decisions. Some very good decisions and

some very bad decisions, but it was all mine. And after 47 years,

I was ready to be in charge. And like, as soon as that show began, I knew that at some point

I would leave that show as well. I mean, that is just how the cookie crumbles. Like, in my next job,

I'm definitely going to be a baker. And because the

average worker is let go from some of those 12 jobs, my decision to leave full frontal was actually
