<P> Sometimes, before the "Your Moment of Zen", this segment is used for quick promotions . The host might promote the show that follows right after their broadcast, such as promoting the show @ midnight . This time has also been used to promote films, books or stand - up specials that are affiliated with the host . </P> <P> In October 2005, following The Colbert Report's premiere, a new feature (sometimes referred to as the toss) was added to the closing segment in which Stewart would have a short exchange with "our good friend, Stephen Colbert at The Colbert Report", which aired immediately after . The two would have a scripted comedic exchange via split - screen from their respective sets . In 2007, the "toss" was cut back to twice per week, and by 2009 was once a week before gradually being phased out . It was used on the 2014 mid-term election night and again just before the final episode of The Colbert Report on December 18, 2014, and returned upon the premiere of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore . Stewart then regularly tossed to Wilmore at the end of his Monday night episodes . Under Noah, the "toss" has been used for The Opposition with Jordan Klepper . </P> <P> The host sits at his desk on the elevated island stage in the style of a traditional news show . The show relocated from its original New York studio in late - 1998 to NEP Studio 54 in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood, where it remained until 2005, when the studio was claimed by The Colbert Report . On July 11, 2005, the show premiered in its new studio, NEP Studio 52, at 733 11th Avenue, a few blocks west of its former location . The set of the new studio was given a sleeker, more formal look, including a backdrop of three large projection screens . The traditional guests' couch, which had been a part of the set since the show's premiere, was done away with in favor of simple upright chairs . The change was initially not well - received, spawning a backlash among some fans and prompting a "Bring Back the Couch" campaign . The campaign was mentioned on subsequent shows by Stewart and supported by Daily Show contributor Bob Wiltfong . The couch was eventually featured in a sweepstakes in which the winner received the couch, round - trip tickets to New York, tickets to the show, and a small sum of money . </P> <P> On April 9, 2007, the show debuted a new set . The projection screens were revamped (with one large screen behind Stewart, while the smaller one behind the interview subject remained the same), a large, global map directly behind Stewart, a more open studio floor, and a J - shaped desk supported at one end by a globe . The intro was also updated; the graphics, display names, dates, and logos were all changed . </P>
