Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show wasn’t the only thing that brought tears to viewers' eyes on Thursday evening.

Stewart’s decision to retire from the satirical news programme after a 16-year reign was the end of an era marked with tributes from across the world.

But despite his departure looming over the final episode, everyone managed to keep a largely dry eye - or at least they did until Stewart, a decades-long Springsteen fan, was spotted throwing some unabashed shapes during 'Born to Run'.

Stewart’s replacement Trevor Noah clearly has some big shoes to fill.
