Do Theo and Jed count as one entry or two?

This paragraph does more to diminish Chicago than anything Jon stewart could ever possibly say.


Thanks for commenting from your throne. There are a lot of talented people who happen to be Jewish in all walks of life,but then again some guys hire other guys because they are from the same background. That doesn't happen? Maybe life is different in Champaign.

They probably wouldn't be in the top 5 people handed jobs for no reason in the Cubs organization.

How many Ricketts kids exist?

Just out of curiosity, if you were compiling a list, who are the Top 5 Jewish guys who have been handed a job for no apparent reason?


I would pick five people that work behind the scenes at the Howard Stern Show.

Benjy Bronk
Ronnie Mund
Jason Kaplan
Lisa G
Jon Liebermann

Jon Stewart is not a good, in fact he's an awful, example when trying to make the point about not deserving a job

Pretty sure he worked his way up and then turned a niche comedy show into a HUGE part of our culture.

Sure,that's what has been perpetrated as fact by the liberal media. What's his audience numbers say? I don't like him because he acts like a guy who believes his own press clippings.

And he is a GREAT interviewer. He can be ripped for many reasons, but he's probably the best in late night TV when it comes to interviews. The guy handles celebrities, politicians, and authors all perfectly and seems to do a great deal of preparation before sitting down with those people. I'm not sure why Jimmy would knock him for that.

Jimmy, did Fritzy hack your computer? What's next? Is Jon Stewart a flim-flammer?

Daily Show is a significant part of online media and culture. The very fact this thread exists is proof of it. If his show didn't matter, no one would give a damn about what he said about Chicago.

No, sadly a lot of younger people dont realize that most of the show is satire and they get their news from The Daily Show.

For the first quarter of 2013, “The Daily Show” averaged 2.5 million total-

A few years ago, one of my buddies said that he liked watching Stewart and Colbert, because you get a liberal point of view, followed by a conservative point of view. :lol:

Since Stewart became host, the show has won 18 Primetime Emmy Awards and two Peabody Awards, and its ratings have steadily increased. In 2003, the show was averaging nearly a million viewers, an increase of nearly threefold since the show's inception as Comedy Central became available in more households.[59] By September 2008, the show averaged nearly two million viewers per night.[60] Barack Obama's interview on October 29, 2008, pulled in 3.6 million viewers.[61]

CSI on CBS averages about 14 million viewers. I guess "Ducky" is a huge part of our culture.

That's when all the old folks are still awake. When comparing him to other late night shows, he's pulling about the same numbers as Letterman, and better than everyone else, except Leno. And his number are damn good for being on cable,

When John Oliver signs off at the conclusion of his brief tenure as The Daily Show host on Thursday night, he can give himself a pat on the back.
OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS

John Oliver Wraps Up 'Daily Show' Hosting Gig Thursday (Video)

TV Ratings: John Oliver Makes Solid 'Daily Show' Debut
Many had legitimate doubts about whether the U.S.S. Daily Show's ratings would stay afloat during the eight weeks without longtime host Jon Stewart -- he took a summer hiatus, his first, to direct a film -- but Oliver has proven to be an equally impressive draw.
PHOTOS: 'The Daily Show's' Other Hollywood Graduates
Compared to the same period last summer, with Stewart at the helm, The Daily Show's ratings remain unchanged in Comedy Central's all-important young male demographic. The series held its .97 rating among both men 18-34 and adults 18-34.
Yes, there were modest slips from summer 2012. The average viewership dropped 13 percent from 1.492 million viewers to 1.299 million viewers in Live+Same Day returns, while posting even smaller losses in adults 18-49. But this summer and last make for difficult comparisons for series like The Daily Show and spinoff The Colbert Report.
A year ago today, the politcs-heavy talk shows were just a few weeks out from the Republican and Democratic national conventions ahead of the 2012 U.S. presidential election. The liberal-skewing Stewart saw ratings spike with coverage of Mitt Romney's wall-to-wall campaigning throughout the year. In fact, thanks in no small part to the election, Stewart and Colbert saw respective 24 percent and 23 percent ratings boosts in the third quarter (July-September) last year.

The Colbert Report may actually prove a stronger example for Oliver's success. Though The Daily Show retained the advantage of being the lead-in to Colbert, the second act's perennial No. 2 status was unmoved despite the pinch-hitter sitting in the 11 p.m. anchor desk. The Daily Show also still maintains a strong advantage in the male and adults demos over all broadcast competition such as Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel.

So where does this leave Oliver? While few would argue that the correspondent didn't perform as host -- his tenure has been met, by and large, with a warm critical response -- he also benefited a great deal from the apparently robust Daily Show brand. And nearly 15 years after that brand became synonymous with Jon Stewart, it seems like it might be capable of performing just as well without him.





:lol:

He's only beating the Tonight Show and Kimmel which are on regular tv and he's doing it on Comedy Central


You're just completely wrong in every conceivable way on this whole thing, Jimmy

All I'm saying be they Jewish,Irish,Black or ITALIAN,sometimes people get handed jobs because of background not because of talent in the job they are hired. THAT'S out of line?

The fact that you care enough about Jon Stewart to make this thread proves he's part of the culture. You don't need any more evidence.
