WATCH: Jon Stewart says good-bye to David Letterman, congratulates Stephen Colbert on 'The Daily Show' [VIDEO]

The big news this week is that David Letterman is retiring as host of The Late Show and that CBS has already named Stephen Colbert as his replacement when he steps down in 2015. There is still a lot to work out in the coming year, but for now this news has been getting a lot of support and praise from fellow television personalities. Perhaps the sweetest tribute and congratulations to Letterman and Colbert respectfully came from The Daily Show's host Jon Stewart this week.

Though the announcement came earlier in the day on Thursday, we had to wait a while before hearing Colbert's response on his show. Luckily Stewart's show airs right before his, so we got to hear his amazing comments on the news.

On David Letterman: "The comedian broadcaster who is the best there ever was."

On Stephen Colbert: "There is no greater joy than seeing a genuinely good man work as hard as he can every day and deserves all success in the world actually get that success."

Unfortunately not every entertainment personality is thrilled with this decision from CBS. When asked about this news, political radio host Rush Limbaugh decided to make on of the strongest statements against the network and Colbert that could have probably ever been said.

"CBS has just declared war on the heartland of America," Limbaugh said this week. "No longer is comedy going to be a covert assault on traditional American values, conservatives...now it's just going to be wide out in the open. What this hire means is a redefinition of what is funny and a redefinition of what is comedy."
