Jon Stewart is the Millennial Walter Cronkite.
- I just wish he'd have gotten into politics.
  
  But I cant blame him after the hit job Al Franken got for being a progressive outsider.
  
  I don't. His talents would have been wasted on them. He can do a lot more with his fame outside of the restrictive nonsense that politics brings.
  
  Al Franken had a conscience. When called on his mysoginy, he did the honorable thing and resigned. Sadly there are no more politicians like him.
Fuck yeah, man. He was the best
- I've had major respect for him since he was on crossfire way back in the day. He took those guys to school and then beat them (verbally) like a rented mule. Crossfire went off the air shortly after his appearance. If you have never seen that episode do yourself a favor and go watch it.
  
  And the painful thing is that all that dressdown, which should have ended careers, resulted in was to set Tucker Carlson on a path of becoming the face of the extreme right.
  
  Same. That clip is gold. Made tucker Carlson look like a total moron
Watching The Colbert Report and Daily Show in the 2000s was something I always looked forward to each night. It'll be nice to have Jon back, if only once a week.
This is awesome! Love to have Jon Stewart back, and I also love to see the correspondents take over the host role more often.
"The Problem with Jon Stewart" should have a high school or college course structured around it--it was a great series.
- Yes, a shame how it ended. I respect Jon for sticking to his principles.
It's kind of a shame that Taylor Tomlinson didn't get a shot at this instead of...whatever the terrible show she just started is.
- @midnight was amazing...
  
  I tried her knockoff show "after midnight" and it was terrible.
  
  Lmao at the people down voting. Her new show is garbage, who the hell green lit this piece of shit colostomy bag of random segments brought together.
Yay
