- He’s an icon of broadcast journalism, trusted to deliver the news to the nation for almost half a century. The face of facts, authority, and empathy. But as 2021 comes to an end, so too does Jon Snow’s time at Channel 4 News.
So in his final week at Channel 4 News, today on The Fourcast podcast, Kiran Moodley looks back at just a few of the many highlights of his incredible career. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to interviewing Nelson Mandela, as we celebrate a man who’s been at the front line of history in the making for 45 years.

An amazing journalist who will be sorely missed. Thanks Jon.
An extraordinary career that’s been a joy to watch. Wishing him all the best - he will be missed !
Mandela still almost brought him to tears. Clear indication of mr snow's stellar character. If only all journalists were ethical and capable of empathy, eh
Great guy amazing career a top journalist with a social conscience, channel 4 news won’t be the same without him.
The best newscaster around, 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Kind, caring, thoughtful, an awesome journalist. Your integrity shines through. I look forward to your new projects.
Channel 4 News will not be the same without Jon Snow's news presence. Thanks for allowing me to interview you for a feature when I was doing a post-grad journalism course, I still have the feature among my treasured press work. Hope to see you in the next broadcasting chapter of your career.
You lucky lady he’s a gentleman & consummate professional
It won’t be the same without him. His ties and colourful socks will be missed but most of all his integrity. A wonderful man who has witnessed and shared with us such change. I wish him well as he begins the next chapter of his life.
The great Jon Snow will be very much missed.
Will be difficult to replace, but Channel 4 News will continue regardless.
As soon as that final day comes, it is going to be emotional. It feels very sad still, this news programme will never be the same without Jon Snow at the helm. 32 years of the colourful ties, the opening and closing monologues, his warm humour and energy he has given to Channel Four News and also to Channel 4 in general cannot be underestimated.
One of the best British television journalists / newscasters ever. He has graced this show with absolute distinction and professionalism and has made it what it is today.
My favourite memories that is still fresh of him is of that hilarious Rickroll video and the Nelson Mandela video .
humility and empathy - two of the most important attributes and Jon Snow has them in adundance
What a legend! Have been watching Jon Snow since the early 80’s & I am going to miss him. The world of C4 news won’t be the same without him. Wish you all the best. Khoda hafez
It is so heartbreaking and sad at the same time for me. He will be so sorely missed.
It has been an honour and privilege to have lived through a time with Jon at the helm on the box. Wish you all the best with the future Jon.
Good Luck John its been a long & fruitful career long time correspondent & presenter
Thank-you Jon Snow for your eloquence, humanity and empathy all these years. I have been watching you since the beginning, and this has been a very moving reminder of all the events we have heard you commentate on over the years. Your departure feels like the end of an epoch in more ways than one... I would be very interested to see any future documentaries you make...your 'long eye' over the last 50 years will be so needed!
A really fine decent human being.
He will be sorely missed and not easily replaced.
Journalists of John integrity & calibre are rare. He stands head & shoulders about his peers. I wish him well & will miss him from my tv screen.
Empathy, humility, humanity. I salute you Jon Snow!
Our respect and honor to Jon Snow and Happy Retirement. God Bless..
Jon Snow . Paxso, Trevor Mcdonald and many others, we owe you so much. Thank you
A great man.
He's right we always have something to learn.
Learning is like eating if you stop learning your brain die
Still an amazing journalist I also love how much fun he could be with the quiz of the year.
Jon Snow, a true legend. King of the journalists.
John, good luck of your next chapter. Thanks for being on 4News since ‘82…
“Nearly half a century”
Bit of a leap from 32 year don’t you think? More like, just over a quarter century.
They mean his whole journalist career
👏 👏 👏
A great journalist 👏
wonderful man what a beautiful intelligent man
Jon seemed able to be empathetic enough, tough enough, compassionate enough to get the right balance, which most corporate blow hard, Ron Burgundy, hair died, compassion less, cookie cutters simply do not.
You will be missed Jon !!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 and Treaty Seven Territory. This is the first time I have really heard of Jon Snow, but of course he is familiar as I recently follow this channel. Wonderful career! Makes me feel my age too watching this trip down memory lane from 1976 onward. 1976 was a milestone year because my high school social studies class went to Leningrad and Moscow. My first and most surreal international adventure. Jon’s life is an almost a continuous international adventure. Best wishes on the next phase of your career! ✨😺💫
What a journalist!!
14:21 Jon’s emotional moment reveals a wonderful human being in him. As a journalist he had an extraordinary journey to be admired.
Jon Snow is trustworthy - a commodity sorely lacking with high profile people today. British News will just not be the same; his his wit, insightful but compassionate style.
I think you can say with certainty he won’t be making an appearance on GB News
🤔
He will be missed especially his interview style pushes but in a professional way he is a professional in a time when so many bend the knee
Wasn't he one of the first VSO volunteers? In any event, one of the very, very best.
A national treasure.

Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla, se que estuvo sorprendenteyt
Incredible
Ramona, come closer
Shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
Will pass as your senses will rise
The flowers of the city
Though breath-like, get deathlike sometimes
And there's no use in tryin'
To deal with the dying,
Only a qualified journalist
Could explain it all
In coherent lines
Jon snow is a man you can trust humble wise attributes we can’t say the same about the prime minister nor his cabinet
Boris the Buffoon
Grenfell folks STILL waiting to be rehoused
Jon Snow is a legend!
I’ve never seen so many white people in one place
????
Give this man a Knighthood!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What a legacy. Well, he has set a path for others a d I we will be ok if they come close.
The inequality is NOT better than it was, it's just more hidden.
Ah this is where GOT got the name Jon Shhhnoooowww
????
And now his watch ends
🧦Irreplaceable👔 🤩
I don’t like the guy interviewing. Seems like he’d be better off doing work experience. Peace out Jon, you’re a national treasure 🙏🏻
🤣 yes, he does reek of inexperience
One of Britain's most outstanding journalist's and a personal favourite of mine. His views particularly on South Africa are to sided on the left and even a bit snow flaky but what an extraordinary effort and ability to bring a story to viewers
America is still dealing with oppression by poverty but it isnt just colour, more geography
👋 goodbye colourful socks
👋 goodbye zazzy ties👋 goodbye acerbic one liners
👋 goodbye insightfulness
👋 goodbye Jon
🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊
Jon, if you want to do documentaries, please do
- one on the loss of a.national education service since academisation 👍 (request of teacher of 25+ years)
- a proper documentary on M7 and Bobi Wine as the C4 reporting when Uganda was building up its last election and the post election reporting by C4 was dreadful and deeply ignorant
🤔🤔
The guy who wouldn’t wear a poppy to avoid any agenda on screen, but will wear lgbt socks.👍
What a personality...
Spreading shameful conspiracies and labelling one religious belief as extremists while representing another in a shameful way.
Schill. Sniw
????
Shame about the pompous attitude and anti white racism. Met him once and used to like him until he showed his true colours. Good riddance.
There is so much wrong with this interview, hard not to critique it. ‘Let by gone be by gone let’s forget the past’, a startling statement from Mandela and a seriously erroneous one in my view. That’s led to the mess SA is in today. But back to the interview. This obsession to memory hole facts is littered across this interview. Really don’t we know the triggers that removed the shah of Iran which led to unintended consequences, or the Berlin Wall symbolism, which has now led to NATO taking over the role of the NAZI, urinating all over the region and now we are on the precipice of WW3 due to its corruption and stupidity. Let’s not even talk deeply about Amin. My point is this could have been a piercing interview to tear through the facade of narratives and understand why these state sponsored stations create well “state propaganda”. In the end with this interview we are left with surface leftist cliches that panders to emotions.
What a Legend.
Ah, Jon you've been gr8. Absolutely calm when terrible events happened in the World.
Jon Snow is the consummate journalist. Thank you.
I adore Mr. Snow. He's been in my life all my life, I'm 50.
He is a legend will miss him
Wonderfull.
And yes Jon, it never stops...the education from Life keeps on coming in step with the sounds from an old clock's second hand.
Tik...tok.
"Do you think I went over the top?" Such a long and successful career and still humble and still learning.
Yeah I have to admit I was surprised by that too.
Love John Snow from Ireland 🇮🇪
Big respect for this man. He's authentic, genuine, and humane, and it would be great to follow his example while navigating through the strange hating trolls of the 2020s. This is the kind of spirit I want my children to have. I got emotional watching him break up over the Mandela interview.
I'm gutted Jon snow has retired.
The only news and journalism I trusted.. Won't be the same now the funky ties have gone..
he is not a sole source of sanity
A good career, but during the last two years you have had a serious journalist´s goldmine of government criminality to mine. You and your editors chose to just scratch the surface and never mined this seam to
it´s full potential. Such a rich seam and you only scraped the surface.
The whole mainstream media is a cesspool of corruption the politicians and media figures are in cahoots you'll never get any meaningful news just a pantomime to appease the masses.
Kept me informed for years -so thanks. The only Knight that isn't.
🤔
A great news reporter. Good luck Jon for the future. Channel 4 news is a great program to watch.
All best wishes to Jon Snow, clearly a journalist with empathy who has always tried to bring the human perspective to enhance the narrative of the story.
When he said "ive never seen so many white people in one place"
Pity he didn't ask him at the end of the interview about his choice of ties, because that's something that tormented me for 20 plus years, did he think he was stylish or was he trying to make a point?
We will miss him dearly.. Wish his Son would do this
He’s only still a kid
his son?
If I was him, I'd be utterly ashamed of what channel 4 has become - especially the "news" which has become nothing more than state propaganda
Jon Snow - an absolute legend and a shining example of what a true journalist should be.
Sir Jon snow, you ARE channel four news! How do we go on without you? You have been in my living room before I was born, ... huge gratitude to you! Also you smoking wacky baccy, is one of my personal highlights x you make the news fun, enlightened, while giving us the information, impartially and fair , with your own sense of humour x
🤔
It is funny the Reagan says bring down this wall and then Donald trump says bring back the wall
👍
Free Assange
About time he left. Didn't like him
John Snow stayed too long @channel 4. His last 5 years were a disaster full of mistakes and aged related problems….He’s looked tired for the last few years.
RIP Jon Snow
Gone but not forgotten.
He's retiring. Your comment 🤣, happy holidays
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
???
We have a moral duty not to comply. No to discriminatory vaccine passports and mandates, it is an utter disgrace. This must not happen England. Will never vote Labour or Tory again. Disgraceful
Too old, too white and too male Channel 4? Don't worry, Sky New and the BBC are also getting rid of those that don't tick all the woke boxes.
Or: He is retiring, as one does.
@@blaxtru do you really believe that?
Of course he is retiring Jon is the face of channel 4 nobody would push him out due to the fact he is a real draw.
@@ciaranbrk i would keep an open mind on that. Lets just wait and see who replaces him
What do you mean by woke?
