Jon Stewart delivered his final moment of zen, capping off a week goodbyes.
This week, YouTube finally ditched its weird 301+ view count on viral videos in favor of an actually accurate number, much to the relief of creators looking to get off on their virality.

The biggest hip-shaking moment came when Lenny Kravitz had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction on stage. Finally, it wasn’t just you: it really did feel like everyone was out of the office this week. Here’s a look of what’s in and what’s out for the week ending of August 7.
