I didn't see it last night's repeat, but I saw it a few weeks ago .. I don't remember what she said specifically, but it makes me cringe when someone on my side of the argument uses half-truths to support their arguments. (See Michael Moore thread..) .. like, you're not doing me any favors..

yes, my sentiments precisely!

haha, nick. i got brent scowcroft for mine!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:05 (twenty years ago) link

I don't know who that is, but anyone named Brent Scowcroft can't be that funny.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:07 (twenty years ago) link

it's dan cortez's birthname

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:08 (twenty years ago) link

Ouch.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:10 (twenty years ago) link

We had some shitty newspaper tycoon. Fuck.

Conrad Black?

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:11 (twenty years ago) link

I don't even remember, but I think it was whoever owns the Richmond Times-Dispatch. He was a local.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:18 (twenty years ago) link

damn, because "Lord" Conrad Black would probably be an amusingly long-winded speaker.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:19 (twenty years ago) link

ours was tony kushner, and some nobel-prizewinning economist who is famous but whose name i forgot

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:20 (twenty years ago) link

mine: Wynton Marsalis (ugh!), Ken Burns (looked at me when he was walking back down the aisle and said "congratulations and good luck"), uh somebody else.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:22 (twenty years ago) link

and yes, fucking Wynton busted out some notes on the trumpet instead of giving a speech. What a fucking cornball.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:22 (twenty years ago) link

my graduation was outside, and it was about 95F and humid, so no one had much energy to listen to the speech. i remember kushner being funny, though, as you might expect.

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:27 (twenty years ago) link

We had Vaclev Havel (sp).

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 21 May 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago) link

were Lou Reed and Madeline Albright there?

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 May 2004 15:08 (twenty years ago) link

& did John Zorn throw feces at them?

one month passes...

Jon Stewart on Larry King...

Larry: Thousand Oaks, California!
Caller: Hi Jon, I just love you and your show
Stewart: Thank you, and congratulations on your thousandth oak.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 26 June 2004 00:35 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, the whole hour has been brilliant so far, jon is much meaner and sharper than on the daily show.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 26 June 2004 00:50 (nineteen years ago) link

transcript - http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0406/25/lkl.00.html

Do they replay Larry Kings?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:06 (nineteen years ago) link

yep, I'm watching a replay of it right now.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:08 (nineteen years ago) link

They replay them constantly. It'll be on about five more times this evening (and it's on right now, btw)

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:08 (nineteen years ago) link

hey, thats what I was going to say.

― artdamages (artdamages), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Seems like Larry doesn't know when Jon's joking half the time.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, Larry...

STEWART: It's great. I'm a big handover guy. I'm a big sovereignty guy. I love handing over sovereignty. I prefer to hand it over knowing who I'm giving it to, but I like the way this administration's doing it. They're just saying, we're just handing it over. Maybe it will be a raffle. Maybe it will be the eighth caller. We don't know yet. It's very exciting.

KING: Sort of like a lottery.

STEWART: That's exactly right because nation building, why not give yourself a challenge with this?

Anybody can build a nation.

KING: In other words, are you saying just walk away?

Just leave them or just...

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Seems like Larry doesn't know when Jon's joking half the time.

i noticed that. maybe the alzheimer's is setting in...

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:13 (nineteen years ago) link

How does Larry keep this gig? And what the fuck is doing on a news network?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:15 (nineteen years ago) link

"must... eat... brains..."

Seems like Larry doesn't know when Jon's joking half the time.

oh come on, like Larry King ever has the faintest idea what's happening around him?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I missed the first half earlier. this is brilliant.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:18 (nineteen years ago) link

most days he is interviewing nancy kerrigan's uncle or phylis diller's cousin or something

― artdamages (artdamages), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:18 (nineteen years ago) link

can I get that Daily Show clip anywhere?

Will someone shut Michael Moore up and let the staff of the Daily Show do the next lefty-friendly documentary?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:21 (nineteen years ago) link

he's really having fun with this; i mean, it's not like he has any ratings to protect on CNN

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:21 (nineteen years ago) link

did you see the clips w/cheney that was classic

― artdamages (artdamages), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:23 (nineteen years ago) link

David Letterman is awful, God.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Larry has gotten really slow on the uptake, it's really tragic.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Its kind of sick that he has a small child.

― artdamages (artdamages), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:36 (nineteen years ago) link

in many ways

― artdamages (artdamages), Saturday, 26 June 2004 03:37 (nineteen years ago) link

and it's on once again.

― Kingfish of Burma (Kingfish), Saturday, 26 June 2004 06:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Larry keeps laughing at the jokes but I doubt he gets many of them (hardly any follow-up, etc.). total non-shocka, blah blah blah

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 26 June 2004 06:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Anyone who's seen that documentary 'Spin' will know that Larry definitely got the jibe about offering his daughter a job...

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 26 June 2004 17:41 (nineteen years ago) link

if anyone knows where to find this on the web, please let us know! PLZ PLEEZ!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 26 June 2004 18:33 (nineteen years ago) link

the daily show should have gotten research credits in Farenheit 9/11; pretty much every single Bush clip over the past two years that has been followed by wide-eyed stares of disbelief by Stewart was in the film. The clips almost seem incomplete without him!

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 26 June 2004 18:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Moore was on the Daily Show the other day, and he sat there and giggled while Stewart made with the awesome.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 26 June 2004 18:36 (nineteen years ago) link

s1ocki, try this bittorrent. You'll need bittorrent installed, natch.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 26 June 2004 18:48 (nineteen years ago) link

awesome! oh wait, i don't have permission to download the file!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 26 June 2004 18:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Thank you for the 'Spin'link James, I've just seen half of the first part yet it contain so many good examples of "cheap labor conservatives" adjusting their "performance" depending on the environment and the audience, great stuff. It's hosted on an interesting site too.

― Sébastien Chikara (Sébastien Chikara), Saturday, 26 June 2004 19:05 (nineteen years ago) link

anyone anyone?

nice to see Jon doing his thing again, he's very good at it!

― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 09:09 (three months ago) link

I like Jon Stewart

― B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 12:42 (three months ago) link

If this comedy routine doesn’t change the world then I’m going to have to pass

― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 14:33 (three months ago) link

I like the kind of comedy that isn't funny but gets results

― symsymsym, Wednesday, 14 February 2024 16:28 (three months ago) link

there were a lot of posts about that rally in October 2010 on this thread. it's hilarious that Kid Rock played

― symsymsym, Wednesday, 14 February 2024 16:33 (three months ago) link

It's the kind of comedy that feels like it's somehow politically consequential, but really isn't, unless it's consequence is to make the audience feel like their attitude of superiority to politics has been validated.

― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 21:03 (three months ago) link

personally i thought the bit was good

― gbx, Wednesday, 14 February 2024 21:30 (three months ago) link

To me, comedy and art can be good at pointing out problems, but should not be tasked with fixing them.

― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 21:59 (three months ago) link

Thanks to an expert monologue, the 9-11 first responders were instantly healed.

― poppers fueled buttsex crescendo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 14 February 2024 22:05 (three months ago) link

what's the story here with JS returning to TDS? is it a temp thing? was that the first show back? (audience response suggests it was)

― koogs, Thursday, 15 February 2024 13:36 (three months ago) link

It's once a week apparently

― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 15 February 2024 13:37 (three months ago) link

Stewart hosts on Mondays & Jordan Klepper hosts Tue-Fri

― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 15 February 2024 15:39 (three months ago) link

And yes, it’s temporary

― bae (sic), Thursday, 15 February 2024 15:42 (three months ago) link

It was a good monologue and preaching back to the converted obviously has useful therapeutic (as well as comedic) value. Admittedly I laughed the most at a non-political gag ("Perhaps it was my fault for sleeping in a meat dehydrator").

― Chuck_Tatum, Thursday, 15 February 2024 17:29 (three months ago) link

he must have felt lonely during the trump years. he couldn't make funny. it was kinda like he had retired.

― scott seward, Thursday, 15 February 2024 17:36 (three months ago) link

i didn't really miss him but i REALLY don't miss trevor noah as the grammys reminded me.

― scott seward, Thursday, 15 February 2024 17:37 (three months ago) link

if anything trevor noah was even more sanctimonious than JS and that's a really hard thing to be.

― scott seward, Thursday, 15 February 2024 17:38 (three months ago) link

john oliver's shaming sanctimony owns. for me. stewarts mugging can get old but he charismaticly frustrated, so that offsets a bit.

― a single gunshot and polite applause (Hunt3r), Thursday, 15 February 2024 17:51 (three months ago) link

just need the Knepper character to call Stewart a melt every Monday, and I think we'll all be OK
