Jon Stewart is the Millennial Walter Cronkite.

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.
I really hope he changes his mind and runs for office at some point. I'd vote for him for president.
And shit. I just realized where this was posted. This isn't related to trek at all but why the fuck not.
Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun!
I'm not really a bar kind of guy but if there was a quarks type place near me I might hang out there. There are a couple of "barcades" in my city and at least one of them has some punk and other rock shows on the regular, I keep meaning to take the time and check them out.
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.
you can't even get him to host it daily? at this point just shutter the show. there's plenty of people doing good lib/progressive political comedy (and way more doing it badly), but a legacy network like Comedy Central has nothing to offer them.
They should have given it to Adam Friedland.
I think that, with everybody else zigging, they should zag. Give it to Stavros and make it completely apolitical, just bring celebrities on to talk about their dicks.
nah. is bill o'reilly still alive? bring him back! papa bear hosting the daily show would be amazing. and bipartisan. what's not to love here?
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.
Fwiw:
Stewart, who spent 16 years at the show, the majority of them Emmy-winning, will be heavily involved as an executive producer on the other nights as well.
But yeah we'll see - they are offering him a ton of work that just isn't worth it, but if he is willing...
There was a time when I would have praised Stewart for getting out while the getting was good (ignoring his awful podcast), but it looks like he wants to go the way of Stephen Colbert instead. RIP in peace you god damn liberal.
