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'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.
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.

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.

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.

"The Problem with Jon Stewart" should have a high school or college course structured around it--it was a great series.
Corgana@startrek.website · 11 pts · 2y
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.
