Springsteen's wife and E Street Band guitarist Patt Scialfa posted an Instagram photo of the group backstage before the program aired, writing, "Thank you for letting us celebrate a great run with you!!!!!!"

The image was shared on Springsteen's social media sites along with the message, "Don't miss The Daily Show tonight." As Stewart delivered his final send-off, he finished with a slight twist on his trademark send-off, saying, "Here it is, my moment of Zen."
