Jon Stewart was brutal tonight

[redsoxliberal]

Really showed the convention for what it is... a 9/11 whorehouse.

[nodehopper]

1. yes...he is my media hero.

[Carla in Ca]

2. Jon should be..

hired by the Kerry campaign for rapid response coordinator

[AntiCoup2K4]

5. No way! John Stewart needs to stay right where he is

He's the only "news" show a lot of people watch. And if he was working for the campaign, he'd have to quit. But you are right that they need to hire somebody

[Carla in Ca]

10. Anti,

Why couldn't he do it as part of his show?

[tinrobot]

13. Hire the writers

Why doesn't Kerry hire a few of Jon's writers?

[Enraged_Ape]

16. Jon Stewart has great writers, but he's also Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart has the best delivery of any talk/news show host ever. He's in a pantheon with Jack Paar, Steve Allen, and Johnny Carson--all people with a rare combination of fierce intelligence, natural wit, and an engaging personality.

Even if the Dems had some of TDS's writers, I just don't see them able to pull the zingers off in quite the same way.

[Dover]

3. Anybody care to give a few details for us noncable people?

eom

[redsoxliberal]

6. Essentially taking shots at everyone in the RNC

making fun of the NYC selection... Great monolouge of Rudy and 9.11

You'll get some of his material there.

[Pachamama]

8. His monologue on Rudy was hysterical...played how many times he said

"Sept. 11th"...

He slammed them all....it was funny too having their "roving" political correspondent standing outside Madison Square Gardens with all you could see are police, police baracades and Police "Buses" which he referred to (while talking about how "safe" the Republicans have all made us) as the "Freedom" buses....

[htuttle]

19. I loved it when the Chinese Army started marching down Broadway

[Dover]

9. Thanks. Jon is the ONLY reason I can think of to get cable

and CSPAN too. Otherwise, I really can't think of a good reason to have cable or even have a t.v.

[0rganism]

11. More good reasons to get cable

Chappelle Show
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
MXC
Anime you probably haven't seen before
FSTV on cable access, if you're lucky
International Channel -- see if you can figure out what they're saying about us!

[Huckebein the Raven]

27. Does the International Channel carry Al-Jazeera ?

When I was in Columbus, OH a hotel there had that channel and showed broadcasts from Al-Jazeera.

Also, I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force as well as Sealab 2021, Family Guy, Futurama, Case Closed,and most of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network.

I love BBC America for Coupling (the original) and Little Britain. Any fans of Little Britain ?

[Blecht]

29. Yes

[TacticalPeek]

18. Reno 911.

They do motorcade duty for Boosh tonight.

(Comedy Central)

[MsUSA]

20. Ditto to C-SPAN and Comedy Central.....

it's just to sick and wrong that I have to pay almost 50.00 per month to get the two channels I watch!! Ok, I watch ESPN too. :)

[Sugarbleus]

4. I just turned it on... I often miss it.

It's a barn burner....lol

[EST]

7. I feel so left out...

I found some of JS's humor to be mildly amusing, but a lot just too impenetrably dense (as in massive) to be particularly funny. I do profess to be a very serious consumer of things political, however I also spent a number of years doing standup. Ah, so envious of those of such agile mind. And yes, I quit enjoying Mad Magazine, for the most part, almost half a century ago. Oh, well, guess I'll just have to go write some religious jokes, or dumb repub jokes, or sumpin'. Unrequieted...

[0rganism]

12. Don't get bummed, he's one of the top talents now

Comparing yourself to Jon Stewart in current events standup would be like comparing yourself to Michael Phelps in swimming or Gary Kasparov in chess. Why beat yourself up? Fortunately for the vast overwhelming majority of us, there is plenty of room in the world for lesser talents.

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. His show was GREAT!

I LOVED the Rudy bit...911...911....911...911...911.

Do you hear me SHEEPLE??? I said....911....911...911. Funny, funny stuff.

The Nazi army marching in the streets was HILARIOUS! "Nothing to see here folks. Move along." LOL! What a hoot! PRICELESS message!

[Junkdrawer]

15. BTW: Lewis Black is hilarious...

[gasperc]

21. Gulliani mentioned 9/11 like what 22 times but

sometimes there were prepositions bumping the total to over 30

[Guaranteed]

22. Steven Colbert was UNBELIEVABLE...

Just about the best I've ever seen him. I was SLEEPING on the couch, and somehow what he said was so striking that I woke UP.

[TommyO]

24. I was in awe when I saw

the Rudy "September 11th" montage - this has earned a permanent place on my TiVo until TiVo to Go comes out and I can archive it onto a DVD!

[Pattib]

25. Will it repeat tonight at 7:00est/6:00cst? My program

guide says guest: Ted Koppel. Is this from yesterday or is it new? I hate when I miss a good one.

[Blecht]

26. That's the one.

Set your VCR/Tivo.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

28. This is the single best show on TV. Used to be "The Simpsons".

Much as I love 'em still, they passed their peak some time ago and are pretty inconsistent now, lost some of their better writers like Conan O'Brien.

Stewart just has IT. Not only is the guy smart and completely up on events, he is damn funny and good natured while he's doing it. Genius editing on the video montages.

The deadpan delivery of the supporting players is awesome too.

I think I'm converting my wife over to always watching this rather than the usual "whatever's on the Animal Channel at the time".
