It was a great run, Jon Stewart

[Tibs]

Anyone catch Jon Stewart's very last Daily Show last night? What a great send-off to a true comedic legend. I've been a fan from day one, can't believe he kept it going for 16 years. Happy trails!

He is a funny man, although, I don't watch the show.

When comedians are comedians, I like them. When they believe they are politically relevant, I usually tune them out, unless they show a great deal of restraint on targeting one side over another. Most comedians dont.

Didn't realize it had been that long. I was a big fan of the original with Craig Kilborne, Steven Carrel, Nancy Walsh, etc. where they would find and interview wackos and freaks from around the country. The editing was brilliant. It was some if the funniest stuff I've ever seen on TV.

I like Jon Stewart, and congrats on a job well done.
The fact that many Americans consider him the primary source for their news shows a sad downward trend.

This.

Bill Maher is really funny but he can also really rub me the wrong way. Dennis Miller has gone from a liberal-moderate to a libertarian-conservative but I don't think he even does comedy anymore.

So what are you going to do now?

So what are you going to do now?

Good question. I feel numb, I'll have no one around to tell me how to think. Started watching some Fox News lately, pretty catchy stuff, maybe I'll latch on to that. My favorite is that O'Reilly guy, tells it like it is. Also been reading a lot of Erick Erickson, Eric Metaxas, Ann Coulter...not sure where this is going, but with Stewart out of the picture, anything is possible.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

I never got into the whole "Daily Show" thing. I don't find Stewart funny, and I never watched one second of "The Daily Show."

 

[IndySteel]

Screw that tiny liberal hobbit.

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

Good Riddance John Stewart.

I be willing to bet...he did "alright" for himself...

Self worth is probably in the solid 7 or 8 figures...

 

[Shane Falco]

I liked him in Big Daddy

Who's arguing that? Another rich, white man... Shouldn't he be demonized? Oh.. I forgot, he's liberal.... carry on.

And a tax paying, patriotic, solid citizen, and fellow American..

Political affiliation is secondary to me..

 

[EdReed4Prez]

Enjoyed his comedy. Didn't care for his bias while calling out others for their bias.

What about fairness? Shouldn't he be demonized like almost every single white male conservative? What about white privilege?

 

[Sarge]

Legend? I don't know about that. Richard Prior is a legend. He is no Richard Pryor.

I am "white"...but certainly not privileged...so I can't answer that question objectively...

However, I do feel that no American should be "demonized" or even "demoralized" for their political affiliation...

Unless, of course that affiliation promotes destruction, violence, hatred, and overall anti-American sentiments..

Sooooo......the current admin then?

 

[steel dino]

Sooooo......the current admin then?

They are not my preference......but I don't see them as anti-American or an enemy of the state..

 

[Coach]

Jon Stewart was good at what he did, even though I didn't like him much. Bill Maher is an idiot.

This is a big media loss for the left as somehow he was viewed as news.

I have found this to be the case with many comedians. They feel it is their sacred right to make fun of anyone, for anything. But they also feel they have some sort of moral high ground from which to criticize others. for views they may not totally agree with.

 

[Confluence]

It is quite possible for the same person to be brilliant and idiotic. I'd argue this is the rule rather than the exception.

I've never understood the demonization of Stewart, Maher, O'Reilly, etc. Same coin, other side.

 

[Stewey]

Good question. I feel numb, I'll have no one around to tell me how to think. .

Bill Maher should fill that void nicely for you.

 

[Stewey]

But you are privileged, only oblivions to it...
Being a white guilt liberal you should know what white privilege actually means...
