Larry just seems to sort of "fake laugh", while Jon seems to carry the interview by himself. Am I imagining this? Does anyone else see what I'm seeing? Does Larry really understand that's he's not worthy to lick Jon Stewart's boots??!?!?!?!?!

1. John got Crossfire cancelled
Larry doesn't want to get on John's 'Dead to Me' list...

8. Oh, I'm sure John has one too
Tucker Carlson is on it, for one.

2. Larry is -just- smart enough to know
that he's not quite smart enough to match wits with Jon..

7. That's what I'm thinking...
King realizes he's in the presence of genius. And he doesn't know how to handle it...

4. Larry King is the puff of interviewers..
There's an article about him in the AARP magazine and guess who they show as his guests? Stupid and pickles..I just wrote over their heads.."Ah'm an Asshole, Ah can't help myself". Did they have Jon on because he's going to be MC at the Oscars?

6. I recall him as more of a hardass when he did radio.
Interrupting guests and callers, I actually thought he was a bit of a rude SOB. Of course, that was in the days before rush.

Jeebus...asking a father of a two-week-old baby whether it's better for comedians when things are going bad. Jon looked absolutely "gobsmacked" as the Brits would say. I swear something is "wrong" with Larry King. I understand he was sharp on the radio years ago.

And now I remember why I don't watch LK. What a jerk. :eyes: Jon is awesome, as usual, and King is looking like an idiot.

11. "Dems have 48% of the vote and 3% of the power"
Jon, as much as I want to yell out "Liar! it's not True!"...... I think you hit the nail on the head....

12. It's tough to hear Jon's criticism of Dems.
But he's right- we need a leader who inspires.

16. You bet Larry doesn't know what to do. He sounds like Ed McMahon laughing
compulsively at Jon(ny)'s jokes. Damn I love Jon Stewart.

18. That laugh is grating on me while Jon is talking.
It's like someone's cracking walnuts into an open mic. Larry's so out of it.

20. Larry King used to hang out with Lenny Bruce (which is something that
would impress Stewart). But that was a long time ago.

22. One thing is for sure, by showing clips from TDS
more people are going to start tuning in... maybe a few, maybe a lot... but more people will start tuning in. That's a good thing!
