Yeah, Stewart's been on the Factor before at least once. But really, the scary part is that O'Reilly is the sanest guy on FoxNews these days.

Well, sure, but I'm going to ask again : What was the Point of Stewart going on ?

Yes, it seems big O just does not care about what jon was saying, he just kept inserting falsehoods as fact. I think it would have been better if O came to the daily show instead.

I think he actually enjoys doing it, and it probably gives him material for his show.

I think it is fun for him, and it probably helps raise his profile a bit.

I think there's a big part of him that wants to have a meaningful dialogue. One of the biggest criticisms of FOX News personalities is that they exist in their own bubble, refusing to engage people outside of it and submit to hostile questioning and honestly I think Stewart doesn't want to have that criticism levelled at him. He's willing to go on other people's shows and talk to them and when a big part of your schtick is pointing out that FOX is insular and unwilling to accept people with differing viewpoints it looks bad if you refuse to ever talk to them.
Yes it's still pointless because the same shit happens with editing and mic cutting, no it almost certainly isn't going to change anyone's minds but if you're going to harangue other people for not being willing to listen to others and engage in grown up debates then it looks pretty bad if you're given the opportunity and go, "Nuh uh, you'll just screw with me I'm not going to talk to you." Also ratings.

I lked the bit about Asbestos in one of the last episodes with Aasif Manvi (sp?).
I especially liked the french-canadian expert who played it entirely straight and had a great delivery of his answers.

He was OK. But then again, Wyatt cenac was also OK his first time out, then he grew on me, and likely everyone once we got to know him and his style.

I haven't caught the Daily Show in a long while. How did Olivia Munn turn out? Is she even still there?

She's still there but I never found she settled in like the others did. She just seems kind of wooden to me whenever she's on. Not seen her in anything else though so I've no idea if she's not that great anyway or if she's just not settled in with the rest of the crew.

She also has a show on NBC I think, so while she has recurring bits, I don't think she's going to be there as regular as the others.

The only correspondents who I don't enjoy watching are Olivia Munn, Kirsten Schall and Josh Gad. The rest are always supremely relaxed in their roles and are a pleasure to watch.

She was on G4 awhile back. I only ever tuned into that show she was on to have some eye candy, but yeah - she never seemed comfortable, which I assume is just who/how she is considering she acts the same on the Daily Show. Still nice to look at - she'd make the perfect car show model.

I always thought she was pretty relaxed on AOTS, so I was a bit disappointed when she first started doing bits on The Daily Show, and seemed so stiff and awkward. I figured it was just new job jitters, but apparently it hasn't gotten better?

Yes, I really think Olivia has this "awkward" stance to everything she has done. Seems like her pauses are just a bit off the mark...in fact her whole timing has been off in every reaction come to think of it. But I can let some of that slide since she is very, umm, good to look at for long periods of time.
edit: just realized. She is lagging in real life. Kinda fitting.

I have always assumed that is part of her schtick. Either that or she is actually an automaton. It would be a hell of a best seller in the sex doll industry, if so...

Yeah, not huge on Kristen Schall, but Olivia Munn? I could stand to have her appear on every episode.

I think Kirsten has gotten a bit better as has John Hodgman who also tends to be slightly off. I suspect part of the reason is that they aren't on as often as the other correspondents and just haven't gotten used to working on the show to the same level.

Holy crap, Austan Goolsbee looked unbelievably happy about no longer having to deal with the Tea Party. I don't know if I've seen someone leaving politics looking so happy to be leaving it.

Bateman was on two days ago and if you watch the interview, it was quite entertaining in the discussion of his new movie. However, CNN took a snippet out and ran with it completely out of context. Now normally, I'd just shake my head and move on, but I watched the interview and Bateman himself spoke about THIS VERY ISSUE while talking about the possibility of an Arrested Development movie. Guess CNN is getting into the business of being a punchline. edit: url= fail...

Yeah that was awesome. I loved how John kept commenting on it. I really do think he was giddy as a school girl for precisely that reason.

Last night's opening sequence about raising taxes on the poor was brilliant. I laughed a lot, but I was also filled with the urge to find any and everyone associated with Fox News and the GOP, set them on fire, and then put them out with their own blood. They are so beyond the pale evil now it has ceased to be funny.

Was that the Fridge/Microwave one? Or was that Colbert? FYI, every apartment I ever lived in -- from the nicest to the scuzziest -- came with a microwave and fridge. :)

Yep, that was it. Those fucking smug poor people, with their modern appliances. Why don't they have the common decency to die in the streets where they belong?

yeah. I was just appalled. Xboxs and tv's are cheap -- really cheap, especially through pawn shops, but even new and using like Gamestop it's cheap compared to, say, movies or even cable. But fridges and microwaves? They come with apartments. You have to be a certain level of rich or fucking clueless to think poor people went out and plopped down on 4k fridges, rather than using the 20+ year old model, beaten up model that was in their apartment. (And complaining to management when it finally dies). And still...it's for preserving and heating food, for Pete's sake. Kinda critical things.
