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.
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.
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.
This is awesome! Love to have Jon Stewart back, and I also love to see the correspondents take over the host role more often.
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.
“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.
